Can't activate iPhone 6

I'm trying to activate my iPhone 6 with a restore from iTunes and can't get past the Connect to iTunes screen on the phone.  It looks like everything worked from iTunes I can see apps that got restored), but the phone isn't activated. If I try to restore from within iTunes, i get an error message asking me to turn off Find My iPhone--which is impossible, since I can't get to any menus. Thanks!

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

  • Can't activate iphone

    The Puppy is correct.
    There is no work around to get the iPhone to work with your computer.
    Since you bought a GREAT phone,
    maybe it's time to get yourself a GREAT computer to go along with it.

  • Can't activate iphone 5 ios7 connected to another apple id

    can't activate iphone 5 ios7 connected to another apple id (Old apple id was not mine)

    Hi alain961!
    I have an article for you that can help you with that question:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

    About my apple id, a month ago i change primary Email and vefiry..
    Now i can login to both appleid but can not ACTIVATE IPHONE..
    Pls help me..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot enter the previous Apple ID and password you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT4972 I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. why?

    I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. I'm appreciating the signal "no service". I do not read the card. what can I do about it?

    Was it hacked, jailbroken, or "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?
    This is symptomatic of a hacked phone that has been updated or restored. If that's the case, it is now a brick.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • HT5569 i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.

  • HT201210 How can I activate iPhone 3GS?

    How can I activate iPhone 3GS? I cant activate iPhone 3GS in Maldives. I activated iPhone 4.So what can I do?

    Ask your brother if the iPhone was jailbroken or hacked?
    Do you remember if the app Cydia appeared on the iPhone?
    Google may provide some assistance.
    Server temporarily unavailable generally means the iPhone was
    previously hacked or jailbroken. Terms of Service for the forum
    prohibit discussion of such iPhones.

  • Can't activate iPhone because Apple ID is locked 'for security reasons', can't reset Apple ID because need iPhone to receive two-step activate code!

    So here's an interesting one...
    I have just updated iOS on my iPhone and it came up with the activation prompt. I entered my iCloud email and password and it told me that my account was disabled for security purposes.
    This happens quite regularly as my iCloud account and I constantly get the account locked out as other people mistake it for their account.
    The procedure to unlock my account is to visit iforgot.apple.com and select the 'Reset your password' option, enter my iCloud email address, two-step recovery key and then nominate my iPhone to receive a two-step authentication code.
    The problem is my phone won't receive the authentication code because it needs activation! My iPad is also listed but also won't receive the authentication code, I expect because my Apple ID is disabled!
    Having read the support article regarding what to do when you can't receive the two-step authentication code it says login to your apple id account and manage the list of devices! You what!? I can't login because my account is disabled.
    It seems there is a complete design flaw here in that I can't activate my phone without unlocking my Apple ID and I can't unlock my Apple ID without activating my iPhone first!
    I've spoken to Apple in the past about this and their response was to login and manage my devices and I pointed out that I could not login in because my account is disabled. They then basically said there is nothing I can do! Really? They won't unlock my Apple ID because they don't have the ability to do so.
    If I'm not mistaken my iPhone is no longer fit for propose and if I can't sort this I will be visiting the Apple store and asking for a replacement as basically my device is bricked. I guess I will have to create a new Apple ID and will no longer be able to get to my email on the old account!?
    Any folks on here has similar issues or any suggestions?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    I have something similar going on, but not exact.  I basically have a useless phone here because I restored the phone but supposedly when my son's father redid the phone years ago for our son he added the phone to HIS apple id (on find my phoen supposedly) which he no longer has nor uses.  I need said apple id and pass to finish restoring the phone.  Maybe we should all get together and pile all our bricks in front of apple headquarters so no one can get out of the building and they have to stay there until they fix this.  :-P
