HELP Phone activation

Help, just updated my iphone4s to v7.1 but now it wont let me activate using sim (it states unable to reach activation server) and can use my wifi because its greyed out. Help!

They there itskristine,
It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone. I recommend the following article to help you get that activated named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

    Can someone please help me?  I have been trying to get my phone activated since Saturday and Verizon keeps telling me that they cannot do it because their system is still was being updated or is down so to call in the morning becuase it should be up and running.  Is anyone else having this same problem?  I tried calling the for technical support all morning and it keeps giving a message that my request cannot be processed at this time.  Same thing happens when I try to contact them online.

    Dear Apple team,
    I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
    When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
    My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
    Please help me to be a good fan of apple.

  • I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

    I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
    I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
    And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
    If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.

  • Open phone activity from a console/winform app and passing params

    Hi
    I want to open a new phone activity web form from a C# console/winform app, and pass lookup field as a parameter (either contact or account) and also pass phone number to phone activity web form.
    How could it be possible ?

    ***UPDATE***
    Restored both applications from TimeMachine, though I could not overwrite the applications so I now have two of each. The ones that work, and the ones that do not.
    Feels like more of a temporary fix then perminant.
    Any help would be appreciated greatly.

  • HT201210 phone activations required again and again

    I am using IPhone 5 which is asking for phone activation again and again since the day I have bought it. Now i am trying to restore it using ITunes but every time I am getting error 3259 and software download stops. There is no network problem at my end. please help me with this issue.

    It's happening again .. the dreaded 'Sign In Required' every time I fire up Photoshop CC. After signing in I am then asked to accept the Adobe Software License Agreement. Photoshop then checks if I have a valid license. I have been on the CC subscription program for two months and have no complaints about Photoshop or Lightroom but I am getting tired of having to sign in. It does not happen all the time but why does it happen at all?
    Any solutions anyone?

  • Need help. Activation after update iOS 5.1 is not working!!

    Need Help in activating my iphone 4 after update iOS 5.1. My phone was been neverlock and i used its before update without any activations. After update i can't turn on my phone!!! On the display have message "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive replacement SIM card". But i haven't any sim cards. Only the sim card from my operator  "Kyivstar" (Ukraine)... What should i do?!
    p.s.: sorry for my bad english, but i live in Ukraine, and we haven't autorized service center of Apple in our country. help me please.

    You have been using a phone that has been hacked to allow it to be used on your network.  Upgrading your phone's software has relocked your phone to the original carrier. 
    You will not be able to use your phone again unless the ORIGINAL carrier offers unlocking.  Many don't, and many who DO offer unlocking, will not unlock unless the phone has active service with the carrier in the appropriate country. 
    You will need to find out who the carrier your phone is locked to is, and see if that carrier unlocks the phone.  It is very likely you will need to buy a new phone.

  • Need help in activation a license key in CCT. It works as a trial now

    Need help in activation a license key in CCT. It works as a trial now

    1st the sata drive cannot be listed as a slave drive to the ide master [key word=ide-can be configured as master OR slave, master IF only 1 hd, master and slave IF 2 hds], on the sata controler you can have master and slave, the ide cable has two connectors for the hds, sata has only 1 hd connector.
    are you wanting to install the sata as primary master and move the operating sys to that drive, if so you will need an IMAGING software to move an operating system OR you could do a fresh operating system install to the sata drive then install your programs.

    Sorry, but that one doesn't sound like something for "users helping other users" -- unless someone smarter comes along here ... :-) ... I would advise going to Apple Support to have it taken care of ... or to your local Apple Store, over to the Genius Bar.

  • Need help in activating CS5 on a new (3rd) computer.  Old laptop is inoperable.

    need help in activating CS5 on a new (3rd) computer.  Old laptop is inoperable.

    Hi,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

  • I am trying to get my phone activated for Prepaid, but when I try to register my phone with Verizon the FIRST thing it asks me for is my phone number... but I don't even have one.

    How am I supposed to give them my phone number when I haven't even activated my phone yet? I just want to get this phone activated ASAP.

    you're phone number should be in the phone settings.

  • HT5661 i bought a second hand phone and now can not hold of the seller,  how can i get the phone activated in my name now?

    Hi all,  I have bought a second hand iphone 5s and have found it is still activated to the last user... i can't get hold of them anymore,  how can i get the phone activated in my name?

    If iOs 7 is installed on that iPhone, you will not be able to activate it without
    the requested information. It is called Activation Lock and is a security
    feature built into iOS 7. There is no workaround.

  • Iphone stolen. Am I able to erase my info with a new phone activated?

    My iphone 5 got stolen a few days ago and I immediately put it into lost mode with a sound to go off and a message to appear telling him/her to return it. I got a couple of locations tracked but the theif would keep the phone off. I have iOS 7 with a passcode on the phone and Find my phone activated so I know the phone is pretty much useless and they won't be able to get in. I came to terms that the phone is long gone and I probably won't be getting it back so I went to t-mobile to get a new SIM card for another phone and clicked "Erase iphone" on iCloud. Since the stolen phone is offline, it says the data will be erased once it is connected to the internet. Without much thought I put the new SIM in the phone activating it but when it asked to log in to iCloud, I thought of something that I wasn't sure of so I thought I'd ask. My question is since the new SIM is activated, if I log into my icloud restoring the new phone to whatever I have saved on there, will the information on the stolen phone still be erased? Since the SIM card on the stolen phone is inactivated now, there is no cellular network for it to connect to , and the only way it would be erased is if it was connected to wifi, correct? But if I log into icloud on the new phone, will it log out of the old one and not erase my pictures, contacts, data, etc? Sorry for the huge paragraph, I just want to make sure all my data will still be able to be erased, even if I activate and start using a new phone (which is also an iphone 5). Responses will be appreciated. Thanks!

    The find my iPhone services work based on the MIME and serial number, not your carrier's data... therefore the deletion should work if the device is ever connected to a network.
    You can have several devices with the same Apple ID so you also don't need to worry about unwillingly logging the other device out.
