How to activate IPhone online in iTunes on 1X

Will I be able to activate my phone if I'm in 1x coverage, or will I have to go to a place that has 3G?
Thanks.

terminology is very important in situation like this. The *activation* everyone seems to be getting confused with activation the phone to work with your current line. There are 2 activations, one in itunes to actually be able to make the phone operate.. then you dial *228 in order to have the iphone update itself to your current phone line. SO, i think people are saying activation, meaning the second option and everyone keeps screaming you activate through itunes and thats making these people confused. Hope i made sense.
I did not realize that.  I have been working on this all morning.  That worked perfectly.
Thank you very much.
You are my hero.

    Hello Jacky lou
    If you cannot activate your iPhone with cellular service, then check out the first article to sort you out. If it deals with Activation Lock, then you will need to enter in the password correctly to get passed that point. Check out the second article for more information on Activation Lock.

    please help..

    Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

    How do you activate IPhone 4S using ITunes

    Connect your iPhone to iTunes and you will be prompted to go through the activation process ...
    Assuming, of course, you have a brand new iPhone that is in the status it would be if you just took it out of the box.

  • Unable to activate iPhone / Stuck in iTunes

    Hey guys,
    hopefully you are able to help me with this.
    Got the old iPhone 4 from my father. I set it all up and everything looked fine except that the iPhone can't connect to my carrier (it says "no service" and is not even searching). So I contacted my carrier this morning to check if my new SIM-Card is activated - It is according to them (I'm not able to check the SIM-Card in another phone).
    My next step was to do a backup, restore the iPhone and hope that it'll just work.
    After connecting the iPhone to iTunes (11.1.3.8 on a PC) it now says "Activate iPhone - This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID xxx (the Apple ID I set up yesterday on the phone and NOT the one my father used!). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this phone". Perfect, I thought, despite I was wondering that I'm getting this message now (First time connecting this iPhone to iTunes I was able to get to the normal syncing options where I can restore and check for updates etc.)
    After typing the correct Apple ID and pw, iTunes is displaying "Connecting to iTunes store" for a few seconds and gets back to the screen where it wants me to enter my Apple ID and pw. I'm not getting any errors.
    It is no problem to connect to the iTunes Store via iTunes. iCloud is also working perfectly.
    Any ideas why I can't get through the activation process in iTunes?
    ... or any suggestions how to solve this annoying problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    Kagey....  I figured it out.   In iTunes...under "devices"...where it is supposed to say the name of the phone "Dan's iPhone".  I just kept clicking in the blank space where the name was supposed to be and it finally gave me an option to type the name in.   You have to find the "magic pixel".  Keep trying....it'll work.  I was persistent...

  • TS2776 How to sync iPhone 4 with iTunes on new Win7-64 PC?

    I purchased a new Win7-64bit PC.  Am unable to get iTunes to sync with my iPhone 4.  iTunes recognizes iPhone.  Sync starts, step 1, then step 2, then message that appears only for a second that says something about "Waiting for changes to be applied."  I have re-authorized iTunes. Backed up iPhone.

    Hi,
    How can he sync the iPhone (to a new computer with a new owner) without erasing anything on the phone?
    This is definitely not a good idea.  Either he owns the iPhone or you own it.
    Once he takes over ownership of the iPhone, he should do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and make the iPhone his own.  Otherwise, you will get in each other's way regarding messages, FaceTime, music, apps, etc.
    Once the iPhone is erased, he can set it up as new using his computer and his iTunes.

  • How to sync iPhone 4 and iTunes 11?

    Yesterday I've made lots of app updates (of my iPhone apps), and I've also downloaded an app, everything via iTunes 11. Now, I want to sync them to my iPhone 4. That's it.
    However, iTunes doesn't seem to detect my iPhone. I've read on posts and threads that I should click the 'iPhone' button on the top-right corner, but I don't see it. I tried closing and re opening iTunes as well as turning off and on my iPhone and nothing. In the iPhone it says it's charging so I guess the cable is correctly attached.
    I've been struggling for hours, and I can't find a way to access my iPhone from iTunes. I tried logging in and out with my two accounts. There's that item File -> Devices on the main menu, but all the options there, including 'Sync', are grayed-out. I pressed  cmd+opt+S to see the sidebar, but it doesn't show my iPhone there. If I click on Apps, on the sidebar, I see the list of all m apps, all up to date, but there's no 'Sync' button at the bottom, just a 'Get More Apps' button.
    I've been trying a lot of things unsuccessfully, often ending on the app store facing a bunch of crap and ads like they're begging me to buy stuff.
    Please, why does it have to be so complicated?
    Why does Apple has to make me feel like a ********, both because I can't complete such a simple task and because I'm constantly assailed with ads forcing me to buy things that I have no interest?
    That's overwhelmingly pathetic, it makes me want to wacth TV, seriously.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    After upgrading i06 on iphone 4 and Itunes 11 on pc
    Does anyone know how to solve why the apps sync starts installing apps on the IPhone, blue bar gets to mid point for each app (even 1 app) then hangs i.e. fully clears the blue bar as if it hasn't started. Occurs on cable connection and Wifi sync.
    This then stops you from installing any apps as the hung app shows installing but not doing anything.
    Installing new apps is fine however.
    cheers
