HOW CAN I ACTIVATED MY IPHONE 3G ON IOS 5.0, HOW CAN I ACTIVATED MY IPHONE 3G ON IOS 5.0

hi..
my iphone 3g cannot be activated after i restore to ios 5.0.1

Most recent version for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1. It cannot be updated to iOS 5.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

  • How can I get an iphone to replace my mom's old phone without activating it until she opens it?

    The guy at the store was a real jerk.  He said I could not get the new phone and delay the switch or activate it myself, that once I got her the new phone I could not leave the store without activating it and turning off her existing phone!  He was very rude about it and truly made me dislike the Apple store.  I had done this once before, but now thinking back I think I ordered the upgrade online.  He called me a liar and said I had done no such thing in the past that it was impossible.  I asked if I could do it if I just bought the phone full price and he said no.  He said there is no humanly possible way to buy an iphone that was not activated at the time of purchase, and if I wanted to keep her existing phone number there was no way to do it with her phone staying on until the day we gave her the new one that the minute I buy her the new phone her old one will be turned off.
    This seems wrong and not the best marketing for Apple. 
    So is he right?  Can you no longer get a new or upgraded phone as a surprise for someone?
    We have to go in now before the party to do the switch so we can get her the surprise but keep her phone on (except for maybe an hour before she opens the present and hopefully she doesn't get stranded on the road on teh way to the party in that no phone service window!...)

    I will assume you are in the U.S. (only because I don't know how this works in other countries).  I will also assume you know your mom's current cellular carrier, want to stay with that carrier, and that is a carrier that works with Apple iPhone under contract (AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint).
    Certainly if an iPhone is ordered through the Apple Store online, it doesn't have to be activated until the purchaser is ready to activate it.  Activation is accomplished by iTunes when setting up the iPhone.
    These days, it is possible to order an iPhone from the Apple Store online, and have it made available for pickup at the Apple Store (instead of delivering it to a home or office).
    So, bottom line, the new iPhone would be ready to go with a pre-determined phone number and carrier, purchased at the (subsidized) carrier rate, and become activated when the purchaser is ready to do so by plugging into iTunes.
    I think that's exactly what you are trying to do, and exactly what you have been told is not possible.  I don't believe for a minute it's not possible (given the assumptions in my first paragraph).
    I hope that helps.

  • Hi Guys, Im getting a secnond-hand Iphone 4S and im going to use it as an ipod. How will i set it up if i dont want a SIM Card?? And if i use a SIM card for the activation then can i take it out??

    Hi Guys, so im getting an iphone 4S as a hamy-down and im gonna use it as an ipod without a SIM Card. Im going to put my backup data on it from my old device. How will I activate it? Can i use my family members SIM (SIM that has been used in an iPhone before) to activate it,  then can i take it out and use it without a SIM.
    Regards, PulseSol

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed. So, yes, you'll need a sim card to activate the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. While you can remove it, after the phone is activated, I recommend you don't. If you ever need to restore the phone, or update the iOS, you'll need a sim card installed to do so.
    Make sure whoever is furnishing the phone to you, follows the directions here, before you get the phone:

  • Can Iphone 4 activity (including internet activity - facebook messages) be monitored by someone if they had access to your phone (like a family member)?  How can you check?

    I am wonderimng just how safe the iphone 4 is - if someone has access to your phone (say a family member) can they put sometrhing on ur iphone (that isn't jail broken) that tracks your activity - particularly things like messages in facebook (by using the messenger app that you can down load from the app store)?  If so is there anyway to tell if it's been done?  Everything I read seems to indicate that its not possible to install spyware on an iphone - but strange things happen - including slow response and being logged out of online accounts (ie facebook messenger).  I know that one solution would be to restore to factory defaults but when you do this is it ok to restore your phone from back up or should it be rstored like a new phone (especially if the itunes account is a shared account)?
    I keep thinking I am just being paranoid but it would be good to get some up to date advice about this.

    That's the great thing with ios is it uses a sandbox file system. So installing spyware confines it to its sandbox so it cannot access other file or track anything. Unless you jailbreak at that point there is no more sandbox.

    How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
    Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

  • I lost my iphone 4 just after half an hour I bought it and I hadn't even activated it,how can I get my iphone 4 back?

    I lost my iphone 4 after half an hour,which i had bought it without contract in full payment, and hadn't even activated it,how can I get my iphone 4 back?I haven't put any sim card in it too..please help me..

    Unfortunately there is no way for you to get it back.  Just report it as lost/stolen to the police just in the rare case they catch someone with it.  If you had "find my iphone" setup through mobile me, there would of been a chance.  Sorry.

  • HT5622 "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone" message is received when I try to set up iCloud.  How can I overcome this problem please?

    I tried to set up icloud on my iphone 4 and I get this message that "the maximum number of free accounts have  been activated on this iphone".  My iphone was used by someone else before I got it.  How do I deactivate these accounts or overcome this problem?

    You were trying to create a new Apple ID for icloud.  But once the device reaches is max allowed to create IDs then you can't create more.  That's your situation now.  To create a new account you must use another device or computer.
    You can't deactivate or turn back the clock.

  • My mom sent me an iphone 4s from the usa how can i activated in israel

    they told her it will work worlwide
    how can activate it in israel

    If officially unlocked, put a local activated sim in the phone, turn it on & follow the on screen prompts. If your phone is not officially unlocked, it won't activate & you'll get an error message. You'll find out pretty quick whether it is officially unlocked or not...you could also look on the box...any carrier name listed? Did your phone come with a sim card pre-installed? If any of those things are true, you don't have an officially unlocked iPhone. Might as well send it back before you go any further.
