My Original Apple ID which I'm using since I bought my IPhone is not working for activation, what should I do?

I have unlocked iPhone 4S which I bought in Jan 2011 from store in Saudi Arabia... Since I bought my iPhone and it is linked to my Apple ID... Lately I moved from my Country Egypt to Slovakia so I didn't take my Egyptian Vodafone SIM Card with me as I will buy a Slovakian one...
Days ago before buying a new SIM Card, iTunes found new update IOS 7.0.4 and after installing the update my iPhone restarted and started to take me through activation... The activation needed a SIM Card so I bought Telefonica O2 SIM Card and I tried to continue the activation... At the step of writing my Apple ID and my Passowrd, I wrote them right but an error window appeard saying that incorrect Apple ID and my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone...
I checked my Apple ID on iTunes and iCloud to make sure that my password and my account are ok and it was working... I thought it might be a problem with the SIM Card so I went to O2 customer service and they said that the problem is not with the SIM Card as the SIM Card is working so they can not do anything for me... On the window of activation logging in there is link "activation help" and by clicking it after typing my Apple ID and password, a window appears saying that my iPhone could not be activated because activation server cannot be reached and asking me to try activating on iTunes or trying again later and if this problem persists I should contact Apple support...
I tried activating on iTunes and the same message appeared that my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone and I tried activating many times for two days on my iPhone and iTunes and nothing is working... I also tried to call Apple service number in Slovakia (0800004640) and they said for iPhone I should contact my carrier network which I contacted already and they didn't help at all as I mentioned before... In the end of my tries I went to iCloud finder to find my iPhone on my account and I didnt find it there because I never set up iCloud on my iPhone before...
I don't know really what to do as I'm the first and the only owner and my Apple ID is the only linked to this iPhone, even on the window of activation logging in it is written there that this iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (b*****@yahoo.com) which is true ... This iPhone is unlocked one and it was working in Saudi Arabia and Egypt with various SIM Cards... In the end thanks for reading and I hope to find a solution for this problem...

Thanks for your answer...
My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • After the upgrade to Mozilla 32 using csv files to import data does not work anymore. What should I do?

    Hello,
    After the latest upgrade to Mozilla 32 a previously recorded imacros scirpt in which the data was being imported into mozilla from a csv file keeps erroring out. This same problem occurred with the with the upgrade to Mozilla 30 and was fixed when Mozilla was upgraded to 31. Can you please advise on how to correct the problem so that csv files can be used in conjunction with imacros scripts. I would like to point out that imacros still works without the use of csv files, but when you introduce a csv to the script the imacros does not work.
    Thank you,
    Eugene

    hello eugene, please directly contact the imacros extension developers through the means provided at their [http://forum.iopus.com/viewforum.php?f=11 forum] - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon for new firefox versions. thank you...

    Hi dip_kinu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what device you are trying to set up and what is happening when you try to do so. If you are having issues remembering your Apple ID, or feel like you may have set up multiple Apple ID's, you may find the following page helpful:

  • Using JavaBean with JSP...will not work no matter what

    Hi guys. Sorry that this is such a common, newb question, but I don't know where else to turn.
    I'm new to web application development, Tomcat, and JSP. I'm trying to use a simple JavaBean in a JSP to store some user information. The JSP is located in $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\art , and the UserBean I'm trying to use is in $CATALINA_HOME\webapps\art\WEB-INF\classes . I've tried adding a context in the Tomcat server.xml file, but nothing seems to work, even putting the .class file into the \art directory along with the JSP. The error I get is the following:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /welcome.jsp
    Generated servlet error:
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file
    C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\art\welcome_jsp.java:43: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class UserBean
    location: class org.apache.jsp.welcome_jsp
    UserBean user = null;
    ^
    The source code is:
    welcome.jsp
    <%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
    <jsp:useBean id="user" class="UserBean" scope="session"/>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Art Webapp Test</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    </head>
    <h1>Art Site</h1><br><br>
    <h3>Welcome Page</h3><br><br>
    <%
         user.setUsername("joe");
    user.setTitle("admin");
    %>
    </body>
    </html>
    UserBean:
    public class UserBean {
    private String username = null;
    private String title = null;
    public UserBean()
         this.username = null;
         this.title = null;
    public String getUsername()
         return this.username;
    public String getTitle()
         return this.title;
    public void setUsername(String inName)
         this.username = inName;     
    public void setTitle(String inTitle)
         this.title = inTitle;     
    }//UserBean
    Thanks for any and all help anyone could give me about this. It seems such a simple thing, to get a JavaBean working in a JSP...and it's very frustrating to have it NOT work when it seems I've done everything possible to get it to.

    Ok, I figured out what the problem was. My Bean was not a part of any specific package. It was never made clear to me that Beans are required to be a part of some package...I had no idea (though they always put them in packages in the tutorials, you think I would have picked up on it!).
    So I just added the following line to the Bean:
    package com.art;
    Then compiled it and copied the .class file to CATALINA_HOME\webapps\art\WEB-INF\classes\com\art
    Ta-da
    Thanks for the help and sorry for taking up space on this board.

  • Can't use audiobooks AND Genius? And VoiceOver not working for radio?

    Anyone know how to resolve this? In order to transfer audiobooks, I have to disable the automatic syncing from my nano. But it seems that this means that I lose the ability to transfer the Genius mixes that are created in iTunes.
    Also, after much hassle, finally got VoiceOver to work, but it only works when I"m playing music that I already have stored and it won't work for songs on the radio... any ideas?

    I'm not sure about the Genius working with audio books, but from what I understand, when you say that you want VoiceOver, iTunes goes through your music list and makes that voiceover prompt for each song thats in their. It can't do that with the radio because the songs aren't preinstalled on the ipod.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

    How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?
    I used my old Apple ID for iMessage and AppStore Apps. Now I'm using my iCloud Account (second Apple ID) on my Mac as iCloud and iMessage Account.
    New Apple ID - iCloud & iMessage (**** thing that I can't use my okd Apple ID for iMessage and another for iCloud) on new Mac
    Old Apple ID - AppStore, iMessage days ago
    So now how to disable the iMessage function for my old Apple ID which isn't used anymore?
    Thank you!

    Yeah the problem is that I want to be reachable by:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Earlier:
    *old apple id
    *mobile number
    Problem - if I set in Settings => Messages => Receive at:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Others still can see my old apple id as "iMessage" although it isn't used a iMessage anymore. So how to disbale iMessage function for that?

  • When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

    When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown  menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

    the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address.  My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id.  But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.
