10 months after activation, iPhone is asking me to activate again?

Today, I was using my phone when all of a sudden, it restarted and asked me to activate my phone again. When I try to do so, it states that the activation servers are busy and it is unable to activate at this time. I've tried restoring the phone, but it just goes back to the activation screen again.
Has anyone had the same problem?

Thank you

Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

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.

Okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it but..

i probably shouldnt say this but,okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it. so i got too excited of aving it and couldnt wait for my tmobile sim card to come one more day. so i "hactivated" it (i know this voids all warrenty) and i jailbroke it just so i could use it as an ipod.it worked and i was syched.
BUTTT.... it asked me if i wanted to update the software to 5.1 and i was like " oh yes id love to" and it started downloading it and it was inrecovery mode the whole time .
when the download finished. i hit restore so i can put the software on the phone but the itunes had an error and the phone went glitchy and it does a rebooting loop. it shows the apple symbol with the slash through it for about 5 seconds and shuts off for a little bit (about another 5 seconds) and it starts up then loops the process. ive managed to turn the phone off but if i start it up it loops...what should i do? any help :/
Also it does not show up in my itunes because it is turning off to fast to detect.

C03 Error - 1.5 Months after activation date still...

Hi,
I ordered BT vision and broadband back at the start of April. Activation date was 21st April. Broadband worked straight away but I received the c03 error on my bt vision service. 9 Calls later still no further forward. Each call they helpline people, that's either Technical support, order management or other groups, all have come up with different theories and 'fixed' them. Each time with a 24-48 hour wait and the promise of a call back. Obviously each time no joy and no call back. Additionally I then received another welcome pack last week with a new activation date of June 2nd - again no difference to the service.
Main theory seems to be that the Vision is on the correct phone line and that the broadband is on a wrong line. This however can only be fixed by a 'back -office' department which I'm not allowed to speak to. And after several requests from the helpline to them I was told it had been changed and was fixed. However on my call today I was told that this had not been done. Was also told if I wanted to cancel my service there would be penalty charges!
Please can a mod sort this out?
Thanks
James

I've purchased a cake book on the good food app on my iPad, it's asking me to pay again on my iPhone to use it, why??

Hi, I've purchased a sub app from the good food app called cake cookbook. It's useable on the iPad, but the iPhone is asking me to pay again.. I've checked my setting and they are all set to sync with each other. What am I doing wrong. ?

Some apps are universal (the single app is optimized for both iPad and iPhone) and some apps have separate versions for each device, with a separate price for each. Whether or not they sync to each other has nothing to do with it.

I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with Apple ID named: A@.... But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@... to the new one: B@... Which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate 7.0.4 ipad - A or B?

Hello everybody!
I'm using ipad mini and the iOS is 7.0.4. I used an Apple ID (called: A), and I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with this A account. But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@.... to the new one: B@.... (just changed email address of Apple ID, not create a new ID), and then I signed out iCloud, old Apple ID, etc... on my ipad and signed in with new id B@.... Everythings seem OK, I can sign in/out iCould, turn on/turn off Find my iphone as well with the new one (B@...)
But I still have a question (and still confusing with it): What will happend when I restored my ipad? I mean my iOS is 7, so which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate my ipad after I restore it, old id A@.... (this one cannot be used now) or the new one B@...., please?
Thank you very much for your helpful informations!

If you've succesfully changed the ID for iCloud and Find my phone, it will be your new ID you use if you need to restore it.

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Without that info, you won't be able to re-activate the phone. Apple can't/won't help you with this.

IPhone 5 unlocked for months, after firmware restore "SIM not supported error"

I purchased a 16GB iPhone 5 a month after initial release from an authorized retialer in Austria, it was factory unlocked (at least I thought so) and has been working wonderful since purchase. I have used it in multiple countries and used many different SIMs. I tried doing a full restore on 6.1.4 and now I receive the "SIM not supported" errror. I tried many SIMs that have previously worked, but no luck. I did a search and according to IMEI.info, it is locked to the Austrian A1 carrier. It seems it went from being unlocked to locked during the restore and now it is pretty much bricked, as I can't get past the activation screen. Help please?

There should be no original carrier as it was factory unlocked. If IMEI.info says its locked to A1, would that certainly be correct? The phone was never even used with them.

Did you purchase this phone new or second hand.
If second hand you probably ran into this Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support
you will need the original owners info. Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
