hi everyone i have an iphone 3gs it was running on 4.0.1 and i updated to 6.0.1. then its said i needed to restore my phone to factory settings and i did but now it says; "your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes"...if this problem persists contact apple support at apple.com/support.
I've tried all that i can and still no results. Could anyone shed some light on the subject if so it would be greatly appriciated!

Ok thank you so much! Although I ended up taking the sim card out of my new Iphone and reinserting it into my old one it finally let me restore it! So thanks once again this really helped!

Hi
I have tried to restore my i phone 3gs using a USB cable connecting to itunes.The process has gone smoothley but i am now getting this message on my i phone;"your i phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your i phone to itunes to activate it,or try again in a few minutes.I have been trying and trying again and switched off my firewall too.but still getting this message.Can anyone please advise me?

That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

HT1414 I just got a replacement iPhone 5 (64MB) for one with a cracked face, and tried to restore it. Got an error message saying the iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the iPhone. Now what?

I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.

I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

I have an iPhone 3GS that was running slow, I decided to recover it and it did. I used iTunes to download a restore, etc. But now the iPhone 3GS can't download any applications, It's running on a 3G firmware which is unsupported now. What do?

Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
Model: MB489X
Firmware: 05.15.04
I don't think I need anymore information?

If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click: File>Transfer Purchases
This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Sure, bring your 3GS in and they will give you about 10% off towards the cost of a new one. You would be far better off to sell it yourself.

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone becaus the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

Hi everyone I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

It could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.

Unfortunately, you cannot downgrade to the old iOS.

Did you try the things listed here? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support Is your device jailbroken? Have you ever used the computer to jailbreak a device? Are you trying to load an iOS other than the current one? What version of iPhone are you using? Is this occurring when attempting to update via iTunes and the computer?

It might have been more helpful if you'd actually mentioned that to begin with.

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel
