Activating new iPhone & downloading software

Anyone else having issues activing new iphone because of iTunes software and Apple password? I keep downloading the new software on computer, but phone saying not loaded. And when I try to connect using Apple log-in & password, Apple is telling me I have been locked out and need to do password reset which I have done twice. I am not getting anywhere with this. Any suggestions?

Contact your carrier.

  • Having trouble activating new iphone 5

  • Store clerk activated new iphone 4s before i backed up old iphone

    Is there anything I can do now to get my contacts, apps, photos etc? When I plug in my 4s it does not give me the option to restore from a previous backup.

    Select Restore under the Summary tab and when prompted, select from the backup for your old iPhone.
    Having the iPhone activated in the store should not have prevented being prompted to set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or from the backup of a previous iPhone the first time the new iPhone was connected to your computer.

  • I made a mistake when activating new iphone 5 from I cloud backup.

    I made a mistake and did not do a current icloud backup on my 4s before activating my iPhone 5. I just wasnt thinking... I set up the iPhone 5 from an icloud backup that was 4 months ago... Now all of my text messages from after that are missing. I need a lot of the missing texts. Even though my 4s does not have any service all of the texts are still on it... Can I get all the missing texts on to my iphone 5??  Thanks!!

    I just found this article:

  • WhatsApp no longer available for new iPhone downloads?

    My factory-unlocked iPhone 4, bought straight from the Apple Online Store, was delivered to me on Friday. I tried downloading WhatsApp from the App Store but the app couldn't be found there. I tried going through the WhatsApp site in the hope that the site would direct the download through the App Store but that didn't work either. So I then tried to sync the programme file, which was working on another iPhone, to my iPhone through iTunes but that won't work either. The transfer goes through to the phone but I keep getting an error saying "WhatsApp failed to install." Am I to conclude that WhatsApp is no longer available for the iPhone for new downloads? The WhatsApp website still has the iPhone listed as one of their supported devices but the installation just won't work. Has their policy changed? If so, is there any other free multi-platform instant messenger that I can use for contacts who are BlackBerry and Android users? I haven't any issues downloading any other apps at all and the phone works beautifully. Please someone help me with this one! Thank you.

    That's odd... I found it just fine.

  • ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

    I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
    I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
    I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

  • Activating New iPhone 5 replacement

    I recently had my iPhone 5 replaced via mail.  I received my new replacement in the mail today.  After going through all the setup options it came time to enter my Apple ID.  After signing in initially with my correct Apple ID, I was then prompted to the next screen asking to submit the password of some completely different Apple ID - one that I've never even heard of.  I'm very confused as to whose Apple ID it is.  Any help as to why I'm being asked to continue setting up my phone and being asked a strangers Apple ID?

    Well I went to Verizon who had it replaced via FedEx to me.  I'm not really questioning where it came from, but as to why its prompting me to login in multiple Apple ID's.  I think in the prompts it asked for about 3 to 4 different Apple IDs.
    That is not normal behaviour, only if you have many other Apple accounts. That's why I ask you to send to back.
    But now this turns into another question, why does my phone keep turning off and on?  Is it restoring itself after downloading all the apps?
    Do a restore from backup again if no joy restore as new without the backup.
    If problem is still there, you have to return it because there's something wrong. 

  • Issues activating new iPhone

    Hi There,
    Trying to activate new 5c purchased yesterday. I was initially recieving Error Message = Cannot load  SyncUICoreLocalized.dll I reinstalled itunes per Apple suppport advice,and follwed thee step accordingly. Now the synsc completes when I plug in iPhone but after going through all 6 steps my phone goes back to "connect to itunes" I have restared itunes and tried several times but phone will not activate. Any ideas?

    Did you try to activate the phone by using iCloud (and not connect to iTunes)? You do not need to connect to iTunes to activate the phone. You can then go back after activation and connect to itunes to sync. When you do, do you still get the error?

  • Activating new iPhone 4 on iTunes

    I have a question-I am getting my new phone tomorrow at the store where I understand they will activate it. Then I think I am supposed to go home and sync it to my computer on iTunes. My question is: is there a way to connect it to my computer but not sync all of the apps, photos etc that are on my computer? I kind of want to start fresh and not put all of the apps I have from my 3G phone/computer on my new phone. I'm sure this is a no brainer but I figured people would know the answer here! Thank you!

    Yup, just sync it to your iTunes and it'll give you the option to either set it up as a new phone or to use the settings from your last restore point.

  • Invalid SIM card after trying to update iPhone 4 software to iPhone 4S software

    When I have tried to download the new iPhone 4S software my phone has said, "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card." This has happened to me two other times. I have never taken out my SIM cards, and have always followed all the directions to update to the new iPhone software. The apple store has always been really confused when I have brought my iPhone in to solve the problem of having an "invalid SIM card" and has consequently figured out that my SIM card and iPhone have both been "fried" by trying to update to the new software and have subsequently given me a brand new iPhone each time. This is a very frustrating problem with apple, and takes too much time to correct every time. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Uninstatll iTunes.  Restart your computer.  Reinstall iTunes.

  • Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

    Hi anyone who can help!
    I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
    I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
    But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
    1 - set it up as a new phone
    2- upgrade the software
    3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
    Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
    Any help at all much appreciated!
    simon

    Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
    If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.
