After update my iphone 3gs ios 4.1 to ios 5.0.1 could not active my iphone,

pls, help

I think what he means, is when you know how when you update your phone, itunes has to restore your last back-up back onto the iphone, or ipod, and it it wont let this person. If so, im having this problem myself, i lost all my contacts and data saved on one of my back ups because itunes refuses to restore my phone from before the update, my 3GS went from 4.3.5 to 5.0.1. I hope my problem is the same here, but i have no solutions.
Im not supporting the idea, but ive heard that jailbreaks can Force the iphone to restore, but thats only what ive heard. sorry if my problem isnt the same. and sorry i couldnt provide a solution :/

    Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
    Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

  • HT4972 After upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored" HELP!

    I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
    I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on.  If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

  • IOS 7.1.2: recovery mode and itunes could not verify with iphone updates

    after clicking the update, it says that I have to connect to iTunes. After connecting the iTunes, the iTunes doesn't not recognize the phone and I have to restore my phone. However, after clicking 'restore iphone' and the connection to software is stalled and now still have problems with connection. Fyi, I have checked the wifi and internet connection, all seems OK and good.
    it almost 4 hours now, I cant use my phone to make phone calls or checking emails.
    what should I do?

  • TS1814 iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet.

    I have attempted all of the above suggestions and am still receiving the same error message. I have also turned my internet security off and have received the same message. I am using a dongle for my internet, would this make a difference?

    Okay I haven't been able to update my iPhone ever since I updated my iTunes to the 8.0 version either! I just followed your instructions and changed the setting on my control panel and then asked to update and it started updating and after about 10 seconds it popped up with the same message that iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update because you are not connected to the internet. Check back or try again later or whatever. So I went back to the Internet Connections to make sure that my changes saved and they did but it still will not update my phone...this is soooo frustrating!!!! Please help!

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

    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.

    I'm using Iphone 5 .After updating it with the latest software i.e iOS 7.0.6 I'm not able to see the wats app and imsg on my notification center when my phone is locked until and unless i activate the "Show on Lock Screen" under each application. which was not same as in the earlier software version.I dnt want my messages or watsapp msges to be displayed on home screen when locked but should be displayed on the notification center on lock condition.
    Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .

    We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • TS1363 i could not activate my iphone 3G after updating to ios 6.0.1

    i could not activate my iphone 3G after updating to ios 6.0.1

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If the iPhone was advertised as unlocked and you are still within
    the return period, start a claim with eBay to get your money back.
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
    About=>Carrier?
