  • Iphone 3GS error when trying to restore and update

    I took my old Iphone 3GS and tried to run an update on a new Itunes acct so I could use like a ipod since my other acct is tied to my current phone. Itunes did a restore and then errored when it tried to update with the latest software. Now it is only showing the image of a USB cord to be plugged into Itunes and my Itunes is not seeing the phone anymore.
    Please help if there is a way...I did the troubleshoot on the device before and updated drivers. They were current before the restore and my computer still sees the iphone under upspecified - Apple Mobile USB Device Driver.
    Thank you very much for any advice you can offer.

    Thank you for the quick response and I went throught the step shown but iTunes is still not seeing my device in itunes menu when i do this action. The phone is also still showing the connect to itunes screen and no pop-up to restore has happened. I tried the steps 3 times.
    Also, I tried to troubleshoot the device and see if that would correct the computer seeing as it did before but it says there is no problem with the device.
    any other thoughts?

  • TS3694 can not activate my iphone 3gs after updating it

    after updating my iphone 3gs i cannot activate it. it continously show the setup the language and the countrythen when it is finish the phone said that i could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. what should i do??

    ok to cut to the chase.
    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
    Then when you updated the phone your phone locked back to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock the phone.
    You'll need to figure who the original carrier is.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    You'd only get that message if iOS 7.0 Beta was installed on this phone. There is no fix. Either return the phone for a refund, or give it back to your boyfriend & have him get it fixed.

  • Help me i can not activating my iphone i dont remember my email adress :(((((

    help me i can not activating my iphone i dont remember my email adress

    You can't activate it without the ID and password.  No other information will help.  As mentioned, if you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If you find the ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

    I can not activate my iphone 4 after installing the firmware ios 7, can not remember the password apple id, a check box are all available, please look into this matter
    serial number TP113FG5A4S, imei 012657000548662

    Copied from my initial post:
    Then you'll NEVER be able to re-activate the phone. This is called Activation Lock & there is no way around it if you don't know that info.
    You can try & recover the ID here:

    this is the message I get.

    If your iPhone was jailbroken and unlocked unofficially, it has been locked again. Insert official SIM to activate.

    I have no idea why this has happend ive been using the phone for 2years bought it on pay as you go and now all of a sudden its stating the above error i have never come across this problem before and currently im using 3GS and Iphone 4S

    Sounds like it's been blacklisted.
    Even if it hasn't, downgrading voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to support. You hacked your phone. You can't get help here.

  • HT201210 i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    Sounds like your phone has locked back up to it's original phone carrier.
    Where did you buy this phone from?  Was it ever locked to a different phone carrier?

  • HT4623 i cannot activating my iphone 3gs after update

    i cannot activating my iphone 3gs after update?

    That's because it was jailbroken, either now or in the past.  We cannot provide support for jailbroken phones here.
