I also tried restore the phone but i cant do that from itunes because it says i have find my iphone activated and there for have to deactivate it on my phone to do it. But... I CAN'T get into my phone. It sort of gets like a moment 22.

  • Does anyone know why I can't activate my phone after restoring to factory settings?

    I bought my iphone from Ebay about a year ago.  I didn't realise it was jailbroken. When I updated the software before Christmas, I kept losing signal.  I tried resetting it and have now restored it to factory settings but now I cannot activate it.  Can anyone help me? Please?

    The jailbreak made unknown changes to your iPhone and when
    you restored the iPhone, it was relocked to the original carrier.
    Only that carrier can unlock the iPhone, and the jailbreak may
    prevent that from completing.
    Google might provide some assistance, but Terms of Service
    prohibit jailbroken iPhones in these fora.

  • I can't activate my phone after update??

    Hi, after I updated the latest iOS, my phone 3GS went into recovery mode and I had to restore it twice. But after that I can't activate my phone
    Please help!
    This is the error message:
    On iTunes: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your netword connection is active, then try again"
    On phone: "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes."
    This happens even though my internet is working fine and I can access itunes store normally
    THANKS HEAPS 

    Also I have not done anything to the phone ever since I bought it, so I assume that it's locked?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself.

  • HT201401 Cannot activate my phone to restore factory settings, I have tried through Itunes but continually get the message activation server is down.

    And you're not going to get a response from Apple on this forum.  Again, this is a user-to-user technical support forum.

  • HT4623 i got apple iphone 3 and i getting problem to activate that its showing message could not activate plz help me how can i activate my phone?

    i got apple iphone 3 and i getting problem to activate that its showing message could not activate plz help me how can i activate my phone?

    Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using.  It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

  • HT4623 I buy one i-phone 4S from store wingate house 93-107 shaftbury Avenue,london.W1D 5DA.tel no. 020 7851 0817 on 30/sep/2012.my problems is, I can not activate my phone because i stay in malaysia ( when i connect using sim card malaysia DIGI line) pls

    I bought new i phone model 4S from 3 comunication store wingate house 93-107 shaftbury Avenue,london.W1D 5DA.tel no. 020 7851 0817 on 30/sep/2012.my problems is, I can not activate my phone because i stay in malaysia ( when i connect using the sim card of malaysia DIGI line) it does not read malaysia sim card.Pls help me, how should i use this malaysian digi sim card and deactivate this 3 comunication sim card so i can use any type of sim card in any countries.
    The phone details are as follows:
    Serial no : 1151NVQLIKA.
    My last 6 digit no in my sim 020287.
    My 3 no 07450453838
    My sim no 8944200009770020287

    You probably won't be able to use a Malaysian sim card in your phone.  If you purchased the phone from 3, then it is probably carrier locked to 3 and it won't work with any other sim card.
    Nobody here can do anything to help you.  You need to contact 3, so you need to ring them or go back to the store where you purchased the phone.  Not a lot you can do other than activate with the original 3 sim card in situ so that the phone will work.
    You can try activating the phone with the 3 sim card and then try swapping them, but I suspect that the phone is carrier locked to 3 and you need to contact them for help.  Noone else can do anything really except them.

    Your Apple ID is probably your e-mail address.

  • Why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

    Impossible to say without more details. Is the iPhone locked to a carrier, and if so are you using a SIM from that carrier? If you believe that the iPhone is not carrier-locked, where did you purchase the iPhone and was it sold unlocked or did you get a previous carrier to unlock it? And are you using a SIM from a carrier that officially supports the iPhone?
    People will need much more specific information about your issue before anyone can offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • I purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone.

    I purchased an unlocked iPhone 4S from US and returned to india,but now I can't activate the phone. Called up the apple support team in India they said it is already unlocked from AT&T. What am I suppose to do ?
    Previously my iTunes was showing the phone and summary etc etc. The India Support center asked me to upgrade it to 5.1.1 then the new sim will be recognised, but now nothing is happening, even iTunes is not showing the Summary page.
    Please suggest?
    I never expected apple stuff to be like this.

    Got an (unlocked) iphone 4s from US
    As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
    You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Good luck.
