I recently when to England. When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network. I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets. I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything. I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here. Help!

I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network. I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging. It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it. And I had data roaming shut off all together.
when I try to restore, I get this message:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message.
and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

My ipod has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything what do i do

my ipod account has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything...What Do I do?

Not sure what you are talking about.
Your ITUNES account can be accessed from any device or computer that has itunes, as long as you have your username and password. Using your itunes account from another device does not affect your ability to use the account from your device.
What is the issue?
You tried to do what?
And what was the result?

I was updating my iphone, there was an error and now it won't let me restore a backup. What do i do?

I was updating to the latest version of IOs 7 last night and when i woke up there had been an error with the update. When I tried to use my iphone the next morning it said there was an error and i needed to restore it. I did and now it is not letting me restore from backup. I backed up the phone with itunes just before doing to update. I'm so frustrated, now what do i do? it says to go to an apple store or something but i dont live near to one. Anyone suggestions?

What, exactly, happens when you try to restore it?

HT1766 My computer froze during the restoration process. It didn't work and now it won't let me restore and the passcode still shows up. What do I do?

I forgot my iPod passcode. I've done the "back up ipod" and restore.
My computer froze in the last 13 seconds and shut off and turned back on.
I tried redoing the whole process, but it won't let me do it.
The passcode is still there and I don't know what to do.

If screen-lock passcode
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My iPhone 5 keeps restarting! And now it won't let me restore my phone!

My iPhone would freeze then restart itself from time to time, but now it's been happening every few minutes! And now, my phone can't even be restored from iTunes! I am quite angry because I payed a lot of money to buy my phone factory unlocked, and it is having problems on me! I've never even dropped my iPhone. It's really upsetting spending hundreds of dollars on a phone that has many problems.

Hello gnicholas98,
It may help to put your iPhone into recovery mode prior to attempting to restore it.

Updated my ipod and now it won't let me restore my iPod.

My iPod was working fine until I decided to purchase Angry Birds on the AppStore on my iPod Touch 3g. Soon after I hit install the Angry Birds icon was grey and it wouldnt install, I turned the iPod off and when it turned on it still said "loading" on the little icon. After a little bit the screen went weird and shut off. The Apple logo kept coming up and it wouldn't go away. I looked up that issue and got it fixed, I held down home and then connected it to my computer. I went into iTunes and it told me I needed to update the software in order to restore my iPod. I updated the software and when I clicked restore it would say "Checking restoration with Apple" and it would start to go, the little loading bar comes up under the apple sign like its gonna work and then it disconnects my iPod and it says The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1611). And now under Capacity, Software Version, and Serial Number all show n/a. What happened to my Ipod and can it be fixed?

Hello, Andrea. This is what I just did with my shuffle.
Downloaded the newest updater - I think you were given the URL in the other thread. Then I installed the updater on my hard drive - this involved clicking the Continue button to get through a couple of screens.
Ran the updater. It was in my ' Applications/Utilites/iPod Software Updater.localized ' folder. I double clicked the icon for iPod Updater 2005-11-17.
Two screens came up, overlaid. The topmost was an information screen saying which software is in the updater. I quit that window. The window behind it was the application. Across the top it says to insert an iPod.
I plugged my shuffle in. The updater recognized my serial number and said the software needs updating. Since you said the program wouldn't allow you to choose Update, I did it to check. The software updated just fine. (Be sure to eject the shuffle once the Updater has gone through and finished its job.)
Right now iTunes is putting songs back on the shuffle.
Since the Updater doesn't have Continue buttons, I wonder if you only got as far as putting the Updater on your hard drive and haven't yet updated the shuffle?
Good luck

My Game Center crap got all messed up. And now it won't let me download anything. It will just load. What do I do?

I am having troubles. Every time I download something it. Will just load the password thing won't pop up . What do I do?

Hello, brendono.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first force all applications to close then power cycle the device. Once this is done test accessing Game Center.

If the issue persists, try the attached troubleshooting steps.
If you are having difficulty logging in to Game Center or staying connected
Verify that you are connected to the Internet.
If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
Try signing out of your Game Center account, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to your Game Center account with an Apple ID, try resetting your password or using another email address. To manage your Apple ID account, go to My Apple ID.
When using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.

I accidentally transferred all my files onto my desktop and now it won't let me do anything.

WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.
I accidently transferred all my files onto the desktop (I missed the folder it was supposed to go into) and now my iMac is frozen after about a minute of starting up.
It freezes too quickly for me to be able to transfer all the files back.
So now there are 5961 items on my desktop.
What can I do!?

#1 reason to keep a backup. Human error!
Try booting in safe mode with the shift key.
Wait for all the icons to appear and go to the Finder menu -> New Finder window.
Navigate to your desktop folder in the Finder window, and Use View menu -> View by icon, and arrange by type.
Move any applications back into your Applications folder.
Create an untitled folder on your desktop. Drag the rest of the items in the desktop folder to the untitles folder by doing a select all, and command-click the untitled folder, and then drag those items into the untitled folder.
Then you should be able to reboot normally and cleanup the untitled folder.

Upgrade to Leopard, and now iTunes won't let me delete anything

Ok, So I got Leopard fr x-mas, and I love it. All the features are great. But now iTunes wont let me delete any unwanted songs or videos. I have deleted them from the hard disk, but still appear in my library, and when I try to delete them from the library iTunes "unexpectedly" shuts down. Somebody help!

hi i just upgraded to leopard also and the same thing happened to me. i haven't found a permanent fix for it yet, but, if you hit command-delete it should let you erase the file from itunes with having it shut down on you.
it worked for me, i hope it works for you.

i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

I recently when to England. When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network. I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets. I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything. Help!
