Could not use iphone due to problem when activating ...

Hi
thins morning I suddenly got activation needed message and it is not possible to activate my phone.
I tried a lot but get these messages every time I try ...
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. an unkown error occurred. (9006)
I put somethnig when I was angry but apple removed my previous post !
Please help

She probably hacked/jailbroke it to unlock it. Ask her if she did. If she did you cannot get help here for jailbroken phones.

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

    In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

    I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
    still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
    excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
    like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
    In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
    Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
    mine who lives there.
    My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
    of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
    avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
    UK.
    Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
    go about having the device replaced?
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    Nice try! Take a hike.

  • I am having the  problem . it says it shouldnt take more than 3 minutes then i get this message Could not activate iphone. i have taken the sim card out and put it back in even then its of no use. if any one out there can help us it would be very nice

    i am having the  problem in my 3gs iphone. it says it shouldnt take more than 3 minutes then i get this message Could not activate iphone.
    i have taken the sim card out and put it back in even then its of no use.
    if any one out there can help us it would be very nice of them. thank you for your time.

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

    I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
    I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • "The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!

  • Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
    When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
    The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
    Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
    Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
    Thank You,
    Camp917

    Hey Lawrence,
    A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
    Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
    Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed  the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
    Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
    Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

  • 'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

    I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
    i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
    at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
    i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
    i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
    i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
    ANY IDEAS ANYONE?  I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
    many thanks,
    P

    Mylenium,
    Sounds like you know a good deal about this product.  Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
    I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

    My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
    This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
    The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
    What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
    if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

  • Has anyone had the error "The file could not be read due to an error" when selecting ignore or replace image links. The linked images are in Dropbox if that helps.

    I am working on a Mac 10.9.5 with Adobe CS6. My files are locally in Dropbox but once we moved files to network and tried opening the AI - the file would not recognize the original folder location. I tried ignoring the missing images but then I receive the error - The file could not be read due to an error." The same error happens when I try replacing the first missing image. I know the problem lies in the images are linked back to my Dropbox but the AI file doesn't care since it won't let me replace or ignore the image links.

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
