  • HT1430 What to do if the message shows "cannot activate iphone" after updating ios5?

    After updating to ios5, got the message "no sim card".   I turn off and restart, then reset language, country or region, connect to itune, "cannot activate iphone"  I dont know what's going on?

    There are several possibilites:
    Your security software (antivirus and firewall) is preventing iTunes from communicating with Apple's Activation server, gs.apple.com.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file for gs.apple.com. Open the hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com. For the location of the hosts file, on a Mac it's /etc/hosts, on Windows it's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
    Your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and updating it the phone became locked to the original carrier. For this there is no solution that can be discussed in an Apple forum.

  • HT201263 i keep getting " cannot activate iphone, please contact customer care" what should i do??

    cannot activate iphone. keep getting contact customer care, cannot iactivate at the moment

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • Cannot activate iPhone 3GS!

    I was given an iphone 3GS by my father who got it as an upgrade on the orange network, he had no use for it so gave it to me. I, in my ignorance, inserted my o2 sim card, it worked for half an hour then shut down. It then sat in the box unused for a few months while I waited for my o2 contract to run out and I have now got a new orange contract. I took the phone out again, DFU restored it after it being locked, went through the settings until I got to the activate stage. It is now telling me that it cannot activate and to try through itunes. However itunes tells me there is no sim card! I have done everything it has told me to no avail. The phone has never been unlocked, officially or unofficially, so I dont see why it wouldnt work after restoring the factory settings. Its an orange phone, orange sim card. Please help!!!

    I have already contacting Apple about this problem as they said no-one else could reslove it i.e carphpne warehouse etc... Mine had been jailbroken so i thought it had effected it in someway, but ive tried everything and cant get it to work.
    Apple told me i wasnt under warranty so therefore i would either have to send it to them (as they'd not heard of this problem before) OR i go to my nearest Apple store, which is over 100 miles away for me. I asked how much it will cost to send it to Apple she said £126.56..And that was just to look at it. She did however say it would be cheaper going into an Apple store, but not much. I said forget it and bought another second hand phone as it worked out cheaper. My other iphone remains the same and keeps saying unable to activeate iphone. Sorry i know its not much help really but possibly if someone else finds out the problem they could let us know?!! here's hoping anyways.

  • Cannot activate iPhone Celluar calls

    Hello. Today I tried to activate iPhone celluar calls on my late 2013 macbook pro using OS X 10.10.3 yosemite public beta and I keep getting this weird error. My iPhone and mac are logged in to the same iCloud account, same FaceTime account and still this happens on my mac. On the other hand my iPhone doesn't have any problems with activating it. It is just my mac. I also did reboot / sign out -> sign in but still didn't work. If anyone knows a fix please help me. Thank you.

    Yosemite betas cannot be discussed on the forums until after it has been released to the public.

  • Cannot activate iPhone 4 factory unlocked

    I bought an iPhone 4 factory unlocked in an Apple Store in Califórnia 2 days ago. I brought it to Brazil and I cannot activate it for the first time. It says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.". I tried to do it via iTunes and nothing also.  What should I do?

    You in fact purchased a locked iPhone. Your receipt is the key that confirms this:
    "No contract Sim". Apple Canada sells both: contact free(what you purchased) and unlocked. Your phone requires a Canadian sim to activate, and once activated will be locked to that carrier. It is merely "contract free". You have thirty days to return your phone and get your money back. I'd suggest you start figuring out how to do so.
    The price you paid has nothing to do with whether the phone is locked/unlocked. Further, there is no one from Apple here and even if there were, no one from Apple can help you. Your phone is locked, was purchased as locked and needs to be returned as it won't work where you live.

  • Cannot activate iPhone

    Cant activate iPhone 4

  • Phone says cannot activate iphone after restoring

    So, recently I had to restore my iphone 4 because there was too much data being taken up. I have restored it before and it has worked. This time I restored it and tried to activate it. It says Could Not Activate Iphone. What do I do???

    It's just the servers, don't worry or go and try to get another phone There's a lot of people blaming a lot of things, trying to scare folks who jailbroke before or even used apps they don't like, that's all complete nonsense. It's just Apple did a VERY poor job, inexcusable to say the least, with preparing this. If they couldn't handle the load that they knew for certain they were going to have today, they should have staggered the release over a period of days or weeks.
    Just be patient and keep trying, it'll go through

  • Cannot activate iPhone 4 as cannot connect to iTunes store!

    Just got my new iphone 4 but cannot use it as my main PC cannot connect to the itunes store.
    I tried my old laptop, but that wouldnt recognise the iphone4. So I upgraded the laptop to the latest version of itunes, and now that cannot connect to the store either!!! (it could before the upgrade) although it now recognises the iphone4.
    I have tried all the solutions I can find, changing parental controls, proxy settings, dmz, resinstalled and rebooted a thousand times. Seems the store issue is due to the new version.
    This wouldnt be so bad but I need to connect to activate my new phone!
    Don't know what to do from here!

    hey, i went to the apple shop today and they plugged my phone into their itunes and it registered it. they told me to just plug it in on my laptop when i got home and it will automatically recognise it. thankfully it has and i have a working iphone4!
    hope this helps and your phones are working soon

  • Cannot activate iPhone 5

    Hello, i cannot ativate my phone.
    One month ago, i couldn't switch the power on, so I went to service.
    They said to me, that they will change motherboard, and after that I have such bad message as: "This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (I*****@r*****.ru). Sing in whith the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone". But this not my ID.
    Please, help me. How can I activate it?

    I understand that, but I cannot go to Apple service center, because in my country there is no official Apple Service.
    So now i have such a problem. When my phone was on diagnostics, they said that i have problems with usb controller and flash, so they can only change the motherboard. Unfortunately, only this service center said to me that they will repair this phone.

  • HT201365 cannot activate iphone although it was working fine until today

    Hi My phone was off for 3 days when i went to power it up had activation errors unable to back up or restore as find my phone is on and cannot switch it off as phone is stuck on activation erro page and no service to ee provider iphone will not respond to computer from itune web site phone is useless at the moment.
    please any ideas?

    If you were using iOS 7 beta it has expired.  If you're a developer go to the Developer forums and downlad 7.0.2.  If you aren't a developer you're going to have to find solutions elsewhere.  There's a discussion on this here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5415804?tstart=0.

  • Cannot activate iPhone 3gs after update

    May someone please tell me that why I cannot register my iPhone 3GS after upgraded to 6.XX iOS version? I tried and could not. The other problem I have is I am not is USA. The only way I can get this activated is by iTune, it keeps failing over and over.
    Anyone have idea how can I get this done please? It is very frustrating seeing i ca't use my phone even though it works very good.

    Yes but it is not ATT. I am overseas and I cannot connect to ATT Cell Tower. Moreover it iTune does help also. It seats and times out.

  • Cannot activate iPhone 4 "we're sorry, we are unable to continue..."

    Help, recently upgraded to iPhone 5, so asked t-mobile to unlock iPhone 4, so I can pass on to my wife. Had text confirming request, so I plugged iPhone 4 into my mac to restore to factory settings, and see if phone had been unlocked. After this, tried to activate the phone and I now have the following message "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." I get the same message when trying directly via wi-fi on the phone. I have tried emergency restore, etc. no luck. Could it be I have no SIM card in the phone? I don't want to activate wife's new SIM card, in case phone doesn't work!

    you need to put the sim of the one she is going to use in when unlocking and be connected to wifi
    if it has all been done properly as it sounds it has  it will be fine
