iPhones require a SIM card for activation. The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

Hello there khraye,
This message appears when the phone is locked to a specific carrier. You will need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to:
How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier
Unlock your iPhone
First, your carrier will need to process your unlock request. Then you'll back up, erase, and restore your iPhone to unlock it.
Start the process:
See if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
Contact your carrier and request an unlock. You might need to meet requirements to qualify for unlocking. After you submit the request to your carrier, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier for the status of your unlock request.
After your carrier confirms that your iPhone unlock has been processed, go to the next section.
If you have a SIM card from a carrier other than your current carrier, follow these steps:
Remove your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you don't have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

i restored my iphone and i am not getting the rest of my photos from my photo stream i am missing about 900 out of 1000 photos it only shows 147 photos it is not downloading for more i was sure i backed it up to icloud i had 1.7 free gb and it still says 1.7 gb free but i am not getting it still
With respect, there is no way that upgrading your iPhone will erase the photos on your computer. WHy not tell us what happened exactly, nd how it relates to iPhoto. If, along the way, you can tell us what version of iPhoto, that might help to.

im trying to restore my iphone and itunes doesnt allow it to restore without updating. problem is that i have the latest update on my iphone so why is it forcing me to wait for a 7hr update download when i already have the update and only need to restore?
Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?
@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up. -
Typgood .. I would like to work together I have an iphone 63gs 16gb, I do not read the sim card in itunes gave him the option restore and now I get on the screen that you can not do iphone activation would help me. I'm from Colombia
Activation requires a SIM card.
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -
Pls i tried to update my iphone, but the itones can restore my iphone and now its not coming up again, it can restore and its just displaying itunes logo and USB cable, pls i need your assistance and advice.
Hello Richyfromnig,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The iTunes logo on the phone means that it is in what's called recovery mode. Take a look at this article to find out more about recovery mode, and how to fix it:

Was your iPhone hacked/jailbroken to be unlocked?
If so, installing an iOS update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked or restoring such an iPhone with iTunes re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with.
What is the exact error message - the SIM card is not supported? -
i had recently followed orders to restore my iPhone 3gs (iOS 6.1) from a question on apple support. However it was working fine before that, it's just that my phone didn't have signal. So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.
no so i dont know what happened

I downloaded a song on my iPhone and iTunes did not update it to my PC. I went to Store -> Check for avialable downloads, and I got a message saying there was no music from my iPhone to sync to my computer... Any suggestions?? Thanks!
I also live in the United States so redownloading shouldn't be a problem.

The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing.
The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing. iTunes shows 6.7 G free, but my iphone shows 6 G free. Why such a delta?
They've never sussed this out - been a problem the last year or two for me regardless of all the new iOS versions and iTunes versions. Regardless of multiple resets and full restores. Mine showed 3.7 avail on computer, less than .5 on phone. I did a reset and full restore. It helped - but still differs dramatically - now showing 5.8 avail on computer but only 2.9 on phone.
APPLE!!! I have spent 10s of thousands on your products both at my business and home - why? "Because it just works" I've been telling people. Not sure if I can keep on saying that if you don't get this figured out!!
