Activation requires more time???

So I got my new 16gb Iphone 3G S yesterday..and itunes said "activation requires more time"...well it's been nearly a full day, and still waiting. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm just wondering how long it's going to take!

yep had ATT already..and the reception here is as good as anywhere else, I guess. The only thing I can think is that when I ordered the phone, it was on one phone number, and I had to transfer it to another number. Other than that, I have no idea. I called them yesterday, and they said the phone is on my number now..so I don't know what's taking so long about activating.

  • IPhone Activation required more than once...

    I've had my iPhone 3G for about a month now and in that time i have had to activate it three times. After i switch the phone on, it comes up with the itunes plug in display. The phone states no service and i can only make emergency calls. I plug in to my iTunes and it activates it right away... fortunately i have been close to my computer each time to do this, but if i'm away and this happens, it could cause me real problems... anyone else had the same problem and is there a way to cure it?

    It is not a defective phone, and a restore will NOT help the situation. I've had this problem, as has my roommate, along with countless other people, including some of the folks that work at my local Apple store. I've reported it to Apple tech support and they've pretty much thumbed their nose at me about it.
    Call A.T.T. and Apple to arrange to get a replacement sim card to see if that might help. I need to get that done too. Other than that.. Keep calling tech support and stay on them about this. They suggested to me that I am the only person to have ever called them about this issue. There is no way that is true. This forum, along with a google search, along with the two phones in my own household proves that is not true.

  • HT1807 got an unlocked iphone 4s bt it asks for activation required via a wifi or mobile network each time i put a new sim. wat if i put in a sim which doesnt have 3g and i dnt have any wifi around me? how do i activate it then?

    I am living in uk at the moment and i have an unlocked iphone 4s. Each time i put a new sim in it a message appears saying ''Activation Required''. When i slide the unlock bar it asks to choose a wifi network or a mobile data network. So far this hasnt been a problem coz i always found a wifi network around me or the mobile data network worked fine. Now the problem is I am moving back to my country Bangladesh in couple of days. And back there wifi isnt a very available thingie. And mobile data network is very hard to connect. So if i put on a Bangladeshi mobile service sim in my phone how do i activate it without the wifi or mobile data network? Please some help asap would be much appreciated.

    Hi Allan,
    Sorry for the rant up there..   Thanks for your quick response.  I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore.  Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone.  I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me.  I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed.  The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings.  However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out.  Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it?  I don't think there is....

  • Why process chain activation is taking more time?

    Hi BW Gurus,
    I am going to activate the process chain, but it takes more time to activate the process chain . What may be the reasons ?
    Regards,
    Raju

    Hi,
    Process chain activation becomes slow due to the following reasons.
    1)Large no of entities in RSPCCHAIN Table i.e, there is  lot of process chains and very large process chains.
    2)There is a missing index for the RSPCCHAIN Table.
    Solution for this problem is  we have to create an index for the following fields of the RSPCCHAIN table.
    EVENT_GREEN
    EVENT_PGREEN
    EVENT_RED
    EVENT_PRED
    Still  if you want further clarification on this , Refer the following sap notes.

  • HT5552 Apple decline payment method for apple ID (credit card VISA) after 2 weeks of active using it. And did it one more time

    Few mothes ago I registered my Apple ID.Payment method chose credit card VISA. It allowed me to make purchases and download apps. But after 2 weeks it said that my payment method was declined and I have to register and pay 1$ once again. So I registered one more time with the same credit card, made several downloads and purchases and after 2-3 weeks the situation was the same. My payment method was declined. What is the reason?

  • Help! Recurrent "activation required" message after upgrade to iOS 8.1

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to iOS 8 (directly from iOS 7 to version 8.1). Ever since, my phone keeps giving me a message saying "Activation Required" (see images). I am able to activate my phone normally, if I'm logged in to iCloud I have to enter my e-mail and password every time (so I logged off from iCloud for now).
    The problem is:
    - This happens at least 10 times a day, even more.
    - The phone can only be activated on wifi (3G and LTE never work, although the phone gives me the option to try these)
    - When the activation is required and if I don't have wifi to do it, the phone is completely blocked - I can't get out of the activation page, no way to see my home screen or access any of the apps, not even the camera, nothing!
    I've taken it to Apple store and first they told me to delete everything and start as a new phone. It didn't work. Then I went again and they did a "full delete" (a different way of resetting my phone as a new phone) and installed iOS 8.1 from one of their computers, which they said was different from doing it from my computer. The guy was sure he had solved my problem, but I got the activation message a few hours later.
    Now Apple tells me it's a problem with my carrier. My carrier, of course, says this is a problem with the phone.
    I don't know what to do! The phone is less than 1 year old and I had no plans to buy a new one in the next year or so...
    Does anyone has the same messages?
    Does anyone has an idea why my phone is asking for activation so often??
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Julia.
    iPhone 5
    iOS 8.1

    I'm still having the same problem. I've been going to the Apple Store every week. I was able to talk to someone in my carrier store (Fido Canada) and the guy was really nice, he really tried everything, changed settings of the network, changed the IMEI number in their system (my iPhone has been replaced and their system still showed the old IMEI number). I went back a couple hours later and he had really done a lot of research and talked to people. The phone was ok for a couple of hours, but then asked for activation again.
    I went to the Apple Store genius bar last week (4th or 5th time), I was ready to get a new phone but the guy told me he had found the issue. My phone was not registered with the carrier, where it should say "Fido Canada", it was empty. He was able to change that (network "elevation" or "escalation" or something like that), he checked again and it had been changed to Fido. The phone was working great for 4 or 5 hours this time, but then the activation screen came back. :-(
    I don't know what to do anymore. I'm SURE it's not a problem with my phone, but it's a configuration issue, either with the carrier network or the software, but no one seems to know what to do!
    Going back to the Apple Store this wednesday, hope someone will be able to figure this out!

  • IPod touch 3G - activation required, will not sync properly, freezes up windows 7

    Hi,
    I am having a lot of trouble with my iPod touch 3G.
         I had not synced my iPhone 4 and my iPod touch for about a month as I was re-inputting my music into iTunes - I didn't want to sync them when not all the music I wanted would be synced onto them. Prior to syncing the devices, one day my iPod randomly displayed the "activation required" notification and the "connect to iTunes" screen. Neither my iPod nor my iPhone is jail broken, so this cannot be the cause of the deactivation. All I use my iPod for is plugging into my stereo system.
         Regardless, I had finally managed to sort through all my music and had managed to sync my iPhone with no hitches. However, I ran into various issues with the iPod. A pop-up in iTunes said that it detect the device but could read it and that I would need to restore my iPod. So I did so (restored to the back-up). However, not even a third of the way into the restore everything just seemed to stop. My screen went black with only the mouse flickering. I restarted my computer and tried restoring it again (again to the back-up). It got further this time and actually managed to sync some songs (around 70 out of 850). However, a pop-up appeared saying that iTunes could not write from the song or disk. So I unplugged my iPod and plugged it back in and it immediately slowed down my computer. Chrome would not respond, Shockwave crashed, iTunes would not respond, etc.
         Anyways, over the past couple days I have tried restoring the iPod (to factory settings) and that seems to have worked. I no longer have the constant "activation required" notification. iTunes seems to be having trouble syncing though. It will get a couple more songs synched and then display another pop-up saying that it could not write from the song files and then the synching process just gets stuck. The iPod no longer displays the synching icon, but iTunes remains stuck on "finishing sync".
    (The problem cannot be with the songs as they sync perfectly fine to my iPhone).
         On my iPod it shows all the songs which are/should be synched onto it. The synched songs appear in black (like normal) however, the majority of my songs are in a light grey and cannot be selected or played (basically it has the information about the song, but not the actual file itself). I can also use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. They are both greyed-out and say "No Wi-Fi" or "Unavailable" respectively.
         Just as a note, I am on Windows 7 and have McAfee Antivirus Plus. I know that some people have some issues due to the firewall but I unsure as to how this could be the cause when my iPhone syncs perfectly well under the same conditions. I have iTunes 10.7.0.21 and my iPod is running on 5.1.1. If you need any additional information please ask!
    If someone could please help, I would be extremely grateful! I'm at my wits end.
    Thanks!

    See if disabling the antivirus and firewall resolves the problem.

  • TS2755 My iPhone 4 says that I need to restore it every day, even after I have already restored it.  When I try to restart the phone after receiving the restore message, it then changes and says "activation required".  How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 4 keeps having the "Restore Needed" message pop up on my phone.  I have restored my phone several times this week, and it still keeps happening.  The "Restore Needed" message pops up, so I immediately do a hard shut-down.  Once the phone restarts, the phone then says "Activation Required".  I keep shutting down and restarting the phone, and sometimes it snaps out of it, seemingly on its own.  Sometimes I have to go home and restore and activate my phone.  How do I fix this?  I'm 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store and 1 hour away from the closest AT&T store.
    Thanks!

    Make the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

  • HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

    found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

    You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

  • HT1386 my phone will no longer turn all the way on or sinc... It just says activation required.

    My I phone will no longer turn on all the way or conect with my computer all the way to sinc.... keeps saying "activation required"? How do I activate?

    The only time I have ever seen that is when my SIM card is out of my phone. Try opening the sim card tray and then replacing it after a minute. Use a paperclip to pop the door open on the side of the phone (if it is a 4 or 4s) or on top (if 3GS) and see if that changes the alert message. Check back with status if that doesn't help. You can also trying a full restore by plugging it into your computer and opening iTunes. When it recognizes the phone click on the phone name in the left menu and hit restore. This will erase the phone but if you have a backup you can restore from that after it resets the phone or you can set it up as a new phone and start from scratch. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

  • OR is taking much more time than UNION

    hi gems..
    i have written a query using UNION clause and it took 12 seconds to give result.
    then i wrote the same query using OR operator and then it took 78 seconds to give the resultset.
    The tables which are referred by this qurey have no indexes.
    the cost plans for the query with OR is also much more lesser than that with UNION.
    please suggest why OR is taking more time.

    If you had separate indexes on col1 and col2, the optimizer might use indexes in the union but not in the or statement:
    Which is faster will depend on the usual list of things.
    Of course, the union also requires a sort operation.

  • Oracle 11g: Oracle insert/update operation is taking more time.

    Hello All,
    In Oracle 11g (Windows 2008 32 bit environment) we are facing following issue.
    1) We are inserting/updating data on some tables (4-5 tables and we are firing query with very high rate).
    2) After sometime (say 15 days with same load) we are feeling that the Oracle operation (insert/update) is taking more time.
    Query1: How to find actually oracle is taking more time in insert/updates operation.
    Query2: How to rectify the problem.
    We are having multithread environment.
    Thanks

    Hi Nicolas,
    Just a short explanation:
    If you have a table with 1 column (let's say a number). The table is empty and you have an index on the column.
    When you insert a row, the value of the column will be inserted to the index. To insert 1 value to an index with 10 values in it will be fast. It will take longer to insert 1 value to an index with 1 million values in it.
    My second example was if I take the same table and let's say I insert 10 rows and delete the previous 10 from the table. I always have 10 rows in the table so the index should be small. But this is not correct. If I insert values 1-10 and then delete 1-10 and insert 11-20, then delete 11-20 and insert 21-30 and so on, because the index is sorted, where 1-10 were stored I'll now have empty spots. Oracle will not fill them up. So the index will become larger and larger as I insert more rows (even though I delete the old ones).
    The solution here is simply revuild the index once in a while.
    Hope it is clear.

    This is a misconception of how indexes are working.

  • Taking More Time while inserting into the table (With foriegn key)

    Hi All,
    I am facing problem while inserting the values into the master table.
    The problem,
    Table A -- User Master Table (Reg No, Name, etc)
    Table B -- Transaction Table (Foreign key reference with Table A).
    While inserting the data's in Table B, i need to insert the reg no also in table B which is mandatory. I followed the logic which is mentioned in the SRDemo.
    While inserting we need to query the Table A first to have the values in TableABean.java.
    final TableA tableA= (TableA )uow.executeQuery("findUser",TableA .class, regNo);
    Then, we need to create the instance for TableB
    TableB tableB= (TableB)uow.newInstance(TableB.class);
    tableB.setID(bean.getID);
    tableA.addTableB(tableB); --- this is for to insert the regNo of TableA in TableB.. This line is executing the query "select * from TableB where RegNo = <tableA.getRegNo>".
    This query is taking too much time if values are more in the TableB for that particular registrationNo. Because of this its taking more time to insert into the TableB.
    For Ex: TableA -- regNo : 101...having less entry in TableB means...inserting record is taking less than 1 sec
    regNo : 102...having more entry in TableB means...inserting record is taking more than 2 sec
    Time delay is there for different users when they enter transaction in TableB.
    I need to avoid this since in future it will take more time...from 2 sec to 10 sec, if volume of data increases mean.
    Please help me to resolve this issue...I am facing it now in production.
    Thanks & Regards

    Looks like you have a 1:M relationship from TableA to TableB, with a 1:1 back pointer from TableB to TableA. If triggering the 1:M relationship is causing you delays that you want to avoid there might be two quick ways I can see:
    1) Don't map it. Leave the TableA->TableB 1:M unmapped, and instead just query for relationship when you do need it. This means you do not need to call tableA.addTableB(tableB), and instead only need to call tableB.setTableA(tableA), so that the TableB->TableA relation gets set. Might not be the best option, but it depends on your application's usage. It does allow you to potentially page the TableB results or add other query query performance options when you do need the data though.
    2) You are currently using Lazy loading for the TableA->TableB relationship - if it is untriggered, don't bother calling tableA.addTableB(tableB), and instead only need to call tableB.setTableA(tableA). This of course requires using TopLink api to a) verify the collection is an IndirectCollection type, and b) that it is hasn't been triggered. If it has been triggered, you will still need to call tableA.addTableB(tableB), but it won't result in a query. Check out the oracle.toplink.indirection.IndirectContainer class and it's isInstantiated() method. This can cause problems though in highly concurrent environments, as other threads may have triggered the indirection before you commit your transaction, so that the A->B collection is not up to date - this might require refreshing the TableA if so.
    Change tracking would probably be the best option to use here, and is described in the EclipseLink wiki:

  • Oracle Drop command taking more time in AIX When compared to Windows

    Hi
    We are firing a normal Drop command on our database and the databse version is 10.2.0.4.The catabase is running on AIX v5.The command is taking more time than usual .
    There are no waits on session.Let me try to put the scenario in more simple terms.I have a nested table NT_TEST with record count 0 and i am dropping the statement using "Drop table NT_TEST" in windows it is getting dropped say some 218 Milli seconds.
    The same table when i am dropping it in AIX it is taking around 6 seconds.
    There are no locks ,Flashback is off,Triggers are not involved.Drop is not waiting on any transaction to complete.
    Could anybody help me out on this.

    Quite possible. On most Unixes asynchronous I/O requires purchasing extra options, and most sites just purchase the default O/S. Or asynchronous I/O is not enabled by default or the database is located on an ufs file system.
    You provided no info at all on your AIX configuration. AIX does have asynchronous I/O, it is not always enabled, and the number of slaves is usually way too low.
    As root, run smit aio and report the results.
    At his point your unfavorable comparison of Windows and AIX is quite unfair. Unix doesn't run out of the box.
    You know that famous joke 'If operating systems were airplanes'?
    In that joke, the Unix airplane is assembled on the spot, but the Windows airplane is three months late.
