  • Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0

    Hello Friends,
    My Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0.
    I updated the phone to OS 3.0 last night and to my surpsrise after the OS Completely installs and restarts the phone,the phone then hangs and all i can see is a black screen when the phone is connected to PC.
    As soon as i disconnect, it shows the Itunes-PC Connect image asking for activation.
    Again if a connect back,it hangs and keeps on restarting ..over and over again.
    i tried everything:
    1) Re-Install Itunes 8.2
    2) Re start OS
    3) CHnage USB Cable
    4) Change PC
    5) Keep the phone connected for around 4 hours expecting some miracle to happen still no use.
    ** If i try to donwgrade back to 2.2.1 then it givess error to and not able to downgrade.
    Now i have put myself in a situation wherein i had to switch to other phone.
    The phone is just getting rust as there is no Support/Care center in India.
    Please someone help me out.
    Atleast let me know :
    Is any hardware part involved in activation of phone?

    Close iTunes and unplug iphone
    Search web and download the 2.2.1 ipsw file.
    Go to device manager on PC and delete the USB option for Apple under the hardware options.
    Reboot PC
    Plug in iphone and wait for dreaded connection picture
    hold power button and home button until apple logo appears
    continue to hold home button and release power button until connection picture appears again
    Your PC should now find the iphone in recovery mode
    Now open iTunes and it will prompt you to restore
    Hold the shift button on the keyboard and click the restore button at the same time
    This will allow you to browse for the correct ipsw file
    select the 2.2.1 file that you downloaded
    your iphone will now restore
    Once completed, you will need to resync
    Now you are back to square one but at least have a phone that works
    Now make an appt at the Genius Bar and make them update it for you
    Mine is scheduled for next week

  • HT5622 Why is my phone not accepting my apple id? I have reset the apple id and the password but my phone still wont accept it. I could not activate my phone now and i'm stuck on activation screen. I already updated and reformatted the phone but still not

    I'm stuck on activation screen because my phone won't accept my password for my apple i.d. I reformat and reset and updated everything but it still wont go through..please help

    Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

    i bought iphone on donedeal.ie it had no icloud account on it. i erased content and settings as previous owner had photos on it.icloud appearing after erased content. Stuck on activation screen now
    what can be done?

    Theres no issue with the mother board.  It's the activation lock look at the link I provided.
    There is nothing you or Apple can do without the previous owners icloud information.
    Like I already stated you have a paperweight.

  • IPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please hep!

    iPhone 4S is stuck at activation screen when trying to update iOS7 please help!

    All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again. Coming back to it tomorrow  (if that's a viable option for you) will likely increase your chances of not having issues.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Needed:  Person who can help me set up mail service

    Hi...I've been reading the forum for days and have been finding information in small bits and pieces...but I need someone who can help me put it all together. Basically, we are trying to move our mail server in-house. We have a better than T1 connection, I just need SOMEONE who can tell me exactly what we need to do to set up mail service on osx server 10.4.8 to work for us. Any takers?
    I have enough knowledge to set up our web and file sharing services (very easy, no brainer stuff), but really I'm lost on the Mail Service setup.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I hope this thread is not resolved. Even if it is, this is my solution.
    0.1. You must have a domain name pointing to your public IP
    0.2. Your router (if you have one) must forward smtp, pop, and imap ports to the private IP adress of the sever
    Server Admin
    1. You must have DNS enable with your domain name configured. I presume that you know to.
    2. Setup your mail service
    in General
    2.1. Activate POP
    2.2. Acivate Imap (if you need)
    2.3. Activate SMTP
    2.4. Accept incoming mail
    2.5. Retain outgoing mail
    in filter
    2.6. Set up as you need
    in advanced->security
    2.7. Set up aurhentifaction for smtp and pop.(important for smtp because you can be a spam relay)
    in advanced->Hosting
    2.8. add your domain name in localhost window
    Users admin
    3. Go to your users account (mail tab)
    3.1 Activate mail
    3.2 Choose receipt method.
    I've followed this procedure 5 or 6 times and it's working fine every time.
    Be carefull. In 10.4.8, something change in Imap service and the send of messages dont work. There is a little corrective to apply (a line to change in a config file but I do not remember what)
    Sorry if the words are not exactly the same on you screen. I'm working on a french vs and my english is not very good.
    Good luck

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times.
    If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

  • Iphone 5s stuck at activation screen after restoring to factory setting

    I had deleted my Apple ID and created one same Apple ID again. After i restored my iphone to factory setting, it stuck at the activation screen, even if i filled in the correct Apple ID and password, it shows "cannot use this Apple ID to unock this phone'. Seek for help.

    You need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPhone.
    This is a new security feature in iOS7 called Activation Lock. There is no
    workaround.
    Without the AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPhone, it will be useless
    to you and everyone else.
    If it is only the passcode that you forgot, try here:

  • IPhone 3GS stuck on activation screen after updating to iOS 6.13

    Hi!
    I have updates my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.13 and it got stuck in the activation mode.
    I went to see Apple Genius and was told that my phone has locked itself to O2 simcard only.
    I contacted O2 and my iPhone has just been unlocked.
    however, when I try to finish the activation it still keeps failining with the message when I use WiFi:
    "could not activate iPhone, your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    When I try through iTunes, it says: "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
    Next available appointments at near apple stores are only mid-week..
    any advice on what should I do?
    I tried restoring it (held lock button until logo came up), but it keeps taking me to activation screen.
    any help would be much appreciated...

    Is there a SIM in the device?  A SIM is required for activation.
    The most common reason for activation issues is due to the device being hacked or jailbroken.  If this is the case, no support can be provided here and Apple will not touch the device.

  • HT201407 Stuck at activation screen

    I reset my IP5s and at the Activation Screen i cannot login my old Apple Account, It said that Account cannot use to activate the phone, but the first letter is correct.. What wrong, i all my money in that fone..

  • Iphone 3GS stuck on Activation screen

    I tried to restore my iphone to factory settings and now I am stuck at the activation screen. The message reads"Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation Server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate or try again in a couple of minutes". I am going on 3 days now. The phone is connected to my computer. Itunes is open but there is no indication that the iphone is connected. Apple support told me via email to uninstall itunes and re-install it. I did but the result is the same. When I try to restore/activate it appears to process and the following mesage appears" It may take up to 3 minutes to activate your iphone" but after the time expires it goes right back to the message above. When I hold down the home button, Emergency Call, Start Over, WiFi Settings and Cancel buttens appear. Nothing else works with or without the SIm card removed. Currently only my Wifi connection seems to register. can you help?

    First, try disabling your antivirus and firewall, then try again. If that fails:
    Open the hosts file on your computer and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com.
    Windows - c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Mac - /etc/hosts
    It is a hidden file, so you will have to view hidden files to see it.

  • IPhone 4s 8gb stuck on activation screen after 6.01 update

    As stated above, I updated my iPhone 4s 8gb through iTunes to 6.01, the update failed, and had me restore the iphone. So I did, now it's on the activation screen. It says I have no service (Verizon, SIM card is in). I try to activate through WiFi it gives me the error saying the activation server is unavialble. If I go to activate through iTunes it says my request could not be proccessed at this time, try again later. I've been trying for three days. I've called apple support and all they could tell me is to take it to an apple store ( hour and a half drive ). I bought the iPhone brand new in March, it has not been unlocked or jailbroken. Any ideas?

    If you can turn of the iPhone, I was going to suggest turning on the iPhone by holding down the on/off button and the home button at the same time in order to reset the iPhone, and then retry installing thru iTunes.  One other thing is to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed; I think we're up to version 7.
