HT1349 Hi...need help to activate 3GS after upgrading ios from 4.1.0 to 6.0.1

Hi...I have a 3GS and after upgrading the ios i am unable to activate the iPhone..its repeatedly giving the same error as "Your iPhone could not be activated because the actuvation server is temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support."
I have tried the numbers and they are re-directing me again to the website for support.
Pls assist.

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Need to Re-activate CS4 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit)

    I have a laptop running Vista 32-bit with Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 installed.  I'm planning to upgrade the computer from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, upgrading in place to avoid having to reformat and reinstall all the software.  Will Photoshop still be activated after the upgrade or will I need to re-activate it?  If I need to reactivate, will the OS change make the activation process think the software has been moved to a new computer?  It is currently activated on two machines (one of which is this laptop) as it is and don't want the activation wizard to think I'm putting it on third machine in violation of the license.  Should I de-activate it before upgrading the OS and then re-activate once the system upgrade is complete?  After the OS change I plan to upgrade the Adobe software to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 - does the activation of CS4 even matter in that case?  Anyone done a Vista->Win7 upgrade in place and offer any suggestions?

    You are a brave man indeed, John.
    An in-place upgrade is still a bad idea though.

  • Need help with skipping audio after upgrading to 10.9.1.

    Having read the fine print, I now know that I should not have upgraded to 10.9.1 in the middle of a project.  So, started with a brand new library/event/project and I am still getting dropped out audio.  Video image is fine. When I scrub back and replay a clip, it sometimes plays better but still skips - only in new places.
    Tech info: shooting with Canon C-100 converting files through Brosoft MTS (422 HQ - Audio pcm_s161e at 48000hz) using 2010 MacBook Pro with 345gb free on internal with 8gb of RAM and 380gb on Seagate external where files are located.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciate.  Oh yeah, happy new year....!

    With all the updateing of stuff can you confirm which you changed.

  • Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
    It says,
    ''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If this is the case, no support can be provided here.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    i am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3?

    The activation servers were down for a bit yesterday.
    Try again.
    A SIM is required for activation. If problems continue, the two most common activation issues are the result of a hacked or jailbroken device.

  • I need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

  • I'm using i phone 3gs after upgraded to ios 5 few hours from shop my phone totally shutdown and cannot on.how to solve it.tq

    help..help...my i phone 3gs after upgrading to ios 5 for few hours thn my phone "pass away"total cannot on anymore.how to solve this problem.tq

    Thanks for the clarification.    Yes, I do access my email from 2 different sources. 
    FYI, I use the POP mailserver as I need most of the information to be loaded onto my PC while on a plane / not connected to the interenet.
    The primary use of mail on my iPhone is to be available as much as possible - even when I'm away from my office.
    Thanks again for your help.   I'll start deleting them in segments of 100.......

    Sorry... But...  The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
