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.

  • Does anyone know why i can only use my phone on speaker phone?

    My phone just started only working on speakerphone. Just wondering what are some tricks to get it to work correctly?

    Mine (iPhone 4 purchased in Feb of this year) did the same thing.  Here's what I tried.
    Reboot
    Reset via iTunes and reinstall
    *228 (verizon) programming (at this point you can see I was willing to try anything)
    then looked around on the web and found lots of people with the same problem.
    Called Verizon from a landline, went through all the steps they wanted to check at which point they transferred me to Apple.  Apple handle the warranty replacement.
    On the first transfer to Apple the call got dropped in the que,
    Called Verizon again, same thing happened, but this time the Verizon representative had the mindfullness to give me a direct number to Apple.
    Direct call to Apple and a person answered.  Told them Verizon had checked out the phone and had sent me for a replacement.  APPLE TOLD ME THE 90 DAY FREE TECH SUPPORT PERIOD HAD EXPIRED AND I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A ONE TIME TECH SUPPORT FOR $29.95 OR A LONG TERM ONE FOR $69.95.  I DECLINED THE OFFER AND CALLED VERIZON AGAIN.
    THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT VERIZON HAS THE VERY BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY.  THEY SHIPPED A REPLACEMENT PHONE.  IT ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY.

    What apps are you trying?  TV out video only works with apps that support TV out.  If the app does not support TV out you will still get aoudio via the component cable

  • Does anyone know why i can't watch movies from 1channel

    does anyone know why movies from 1channel wont play on my mac book

    Now you've really lost me.  How did we change the subject from not being able to play any movies from ichannel to being able to see the movie but not have sound to now iTunes not wanting to play downloaded movies.
    Sounds to me like you have multiple issues... focus on one thing at one time.
    Do ichannel movies play on your Mac without issues?
    Are you trying to play stuff off your Mac onto your TV and are having video or sound issues?  How are you connecting the Mac to your TV?  (Output and cable usage, etc.)
    In iTunes once a movie finishes downloading, it'll be listed in your Movie section, just click play from there.  It should play unless iTunes is unstable or something.  Quitting the app and restarting it via the iTunes menu should fix this unless the app itself has other issues.

  • Does anyone know why I can't download Vuze on the ipad

    I have tried to download Vuze to the ipad and it keeps coming up with the message that Safari won't let me download it. This is the free version and I have downloaded on the Mac so I don't understand why I can't on the ipad. Any suggestions?

    This is what so annoys me about the iPad ,apple control what you do with it. Who are they to bully us into doing it their way. ? every time I login I have to do it twice. Why is that. It's not about security per se it's about buisness owning our interaction processes so they can control. What we do and be forced to buy from them. The iPad is just another computer. Slow and clunky at that. Not even a USB port. I regret buying it. Since my Mac laptop is out of order I have no choice but to use it and wait for pages to load like 486 with a 56k dial up modem !  It's good for emails. But crashes every time fb opens a page. Stupid thing. Microsoft tried to restrict user access in similar ways and was defeated in court.  I love my MacBook pro but this iPad 1 is utterly crap.
    I don't mean to annoy anyone who gives their good time on here. Apple is so big and corporate you know it can't hear the ants at its feet who want it to be more open less greedy and listen to its customers rather than get the customer to listen and conform to what it wants..  When my laptop has anew charger I'm selling this iPad because it is so user unfriendly .

    This is because your phone was previously jailbroken.
    You will never get the phone to activate.

  • Please.  Does anyone know why I can't Boot, DVD-RW is stuck in the drive?

    When I try to boot up the screen stops at the picture of the apple with the circular motion thingy and does not go any further. I let it sit there for an hour and it never came up.
    It all started when I tried to make a copy of a home video on DVD-RW. I had a Lacie external dvd burner and a Lacie external Hard drive connected. The program Toast kept coming up with an error when I tried to copy the DVD-RW. I figured I would just go and download the free Mpeg-2 streamclip program & the DC30 Xact Driver for Mac to make a copy and burn the project. I downloaded both and restarted my computer and it never rebooted. It just sits on the screen mentioned above. I really need to get the DVD-RW out today because it is a friends.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Mucho thanks.

    Have you tried booting up in safe mode? Hold down the shift key while booting up. If that works you might try uninstalling that new software you just installed.

  • Does anyone know why I can't access the Apple store on my windows laptop?

    Does any one know how to get around this problem?  I have un-installed and re-installed to no avail.  I have been in touch with Apple support and they suggested I take down my fire wall whilst I re-installed but nothing does any good.  I still can't access the store from my Windows lap top.
    Any ideas?

    Ok..  iTunes...
    Try here > Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Try disabling your anti virus software and turn off the Firewall.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn Windows Firewall on or off

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,
    Sanya

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
