Been waiting over 2 hrs for activation

There is slow and then there is just dead stop. For god sakes they shouldnt have let me do it if my phone was going to end up useless..
This is ridiculous. I was already thinking about the Galaxy S4 and now I am for sure going to switch. Contracts up in a month. Steve Jobs was a visionary, whoever is leading this company now is driving them into the ground. Nice stock price.

No one forced you to update today. The servers are overloaded with everyone trying to update at the same time. No business would have the resources to make sure that everyone around the world could update without any problems on the same day. Enjoy your S4, but don't update it on the same day as everyone else.

I have been waiting almost 24 hours for my SIM to be activated.

Hello, I have been waiting almost 24 hours for my SIM to be activated. When I went in store, they said that as I am an existing customer it should only take a few hours to swap my number over to my new sim card. I have been on the website to try and activate it but it says it sends a text to your old sim. The screen on my old phone is completely unresponsive and therefore I am unable to do anything on it, including reading my texts. Should I leave it til after the 24 hour deadline before calling customer services? I am at work until 9pm this evening and all day tomorrow so am worried I will not get this resolved until Thursday and I use my phone for work so need it working. I also have to travel a long distance to get there and am worried about there being a problem and not having any way of contacting anyone without my phone. Help

Hi ,
If the store activated your new sim then you will not have to use the online activation form.
If you still have no service on the new sim after 24 hours please get in touch with customer service.

Can anyone beat this? now waited over 9 months for...

Can anyone beat this? now waited over 9 months for BT to fix my BB

I have thanks, I was just answering 06jpearce
This is what I wrote:
Over 9 months and 20 openreach appointments and my broadband is still not fixed. They have tried the "put up with it or we will just say your line is too long and we will stop all broadband service" about 3 times now, but when I point-out my next door neighbour is with TalkTalk, and their BB is fine, and also point out I've had much faster BB for years, they back down.
My speed has gone from 2Mbps to 384Kbps, and every time the phone rings the broadband disconnects.
I am an IT engineer that works from home and about 5 times a day I have to tell my customers that my BB has dropped out and then I explain that I've been waiting 9 months for BT to fix it.
Also I used to set up my customers on BT Broadband but obviously I haven't been doing that for the last 9 months.
I'm sure that the fault is in the old aluminium cable that Openreach don't want to touch (in fact that is what the last engineer told me) .
When you add up the cost of all these engineers calls, and the loss of business from the bad name you are getting, it would have been far cheaper to replace the cable.

Over 7 hrs for initial sync - is this normal ?

Gang,
I just bought a new iPod classic, after my original one was stolen, and it took just over 7 hrs for the initial sync of only 3300 songs. Is this normal? With my original one syncing was extremely fast. I assume it was because the old one used FW vs USB.
Arg,
JmD

Just to give you an idea, I can sync over 12,300 songs to my Classic in around 90 mins via USB 2.0.

HT201316 This is ridiculous - I am using bootcamp and after waiting over 2 hrs to download this OS, and attempt to install, I get an error message - no recovery partition. So much for user-friendly MAC.

I am now advised by the links to ' wipe my bootcamp partition, and reinstall SnowLeopard (you are kidding..) AND
re down load Mountain Lion (2 hr + again - are you joking? ) THEN recreate my bootcamp partition (im using win XP on this).
Wow thanks Apple ! That sounds like a great way to spend my next weekend.

Did the installer get deleted? If it fails to install, I didn't think it would get deleted. Check the Applications folder.
See, What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created,
in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
You can create a recovery hd on another drive and install on the startup drive (if your drive is formatted correctly).
Otherwise, you can install Mountain Lion on an external drive.

I have an iphone that is locked to orange and have been waiting over 50 days now for it to be unlocked and keep getting fobbed off with promises to sort it out. I dont know how many calls have been made and am getting really frustrated now. Does anyone know how apple are involved with the unlock as im jst not getting any answers from orange and they just keep saying they dont know why its takng so long

If it is Orange Uk then no surprises
They locked it originally and it is their gift to unlock ....usually in their own time.
This is how it should work

Full reconnection charge for active line?

My father-in-law, who has always been a BT customer, has just moved into a rental apartment. The line has a dial tone and there is a number assigned to it however BT wanted £130 for a new line? Queried this and got this down to £40, with strings attached!!, but he has to wait over a month for an engineer to attend. Anybody any thoughts on this. Thanks.

BT do not provide or maintain the external network. This is done by Openreach who work for all service providers. BT do not get any special treatment.
Its Openreach that charge £130 for providing or re-connecting a new line. They pass the charge onto BT who have to recover it from their customer.
If you agree to a 12 or 18 month contract, they will normally charge you less, and absorb the remaining amount themselves.
Openreach have a backlog of work due to the recent bad weather, so installation and repairs are taking much longer than normal.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

I upgraded from the 4s to the 5s on Tuesday and requested my O2 number be carried over to my new EE contract. Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??

If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Why can't I activate my iMessage? It's been stuck on "waiting for activation" forever

I just don't understand why it's been stuck on "waiting for activation"

Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.

If you are in the UK:
Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

Where did you choose to download the install files too? This often occurs when choosing a location the Adobe Download Assistant does not have permission to write too. Please cancel the download and try again this time choosing the default location of your User folder.

I downloaded 12 songs and am now "waiting" for them. How long does it take. I have been waiting for over 15min. and only got 2songs.

It should be almost immediate.
Is iTunes currently running on both computers?
