HT1937 I have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1, the ios6.1 got downloaded but while installing it, it say "We are unable to continue, we can't activate the iphone at this time"
Hi ,
I am using iphone 3gs and have unlocked it officially from apple. Now when I tried to upgarde to ios6.1 I was able to download the ios software on my iphone successfully, but when it started installing the ios on my iphone it restarted my iphone and now it says " We are unable to countinue, we cannot activate the iphone at this time. The activtation server is currently down please try after sometime or you can also activate it by connecting to iTunes." .
Please anyone can help in either resolving this issue or restoring it back to my original ios5.1.
This generally is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to unlock it from the original wireless provider and the update
has relocked it to that carrier. You must contact the wireless provider it
is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Exactly how did you get Apple to unlock your 3gs? Only wireless carriers
unlock iPhones; Apple does not do so.

I have a macbook and I keep pressing software update and my computer version 10.5.8 and it says there are no updates anything I can do?
10.5.8 is the last release for OS X 10.5.
If you want to upgrade your operating system, you have to buy it, and it's not available via download. The next upgrade for you would be to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. In the US, call the Apple online store at 800-MY-APPLE and order 10.6 from the legacy products list. They will send you a DVD, which you can install, then use Software Update to get to the last release of 10.6.8.
If you want to upgrade further, and your sytsem will support it, you can call the Apple online store again to buy Lion or you can connect to the App Store to buy and download Mountain Lion. If your system will support Lion or ML, you probably should have 4GB of memory for reasonable performance. -

Sorry, but we cannot help you with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums. You will have to look on other web sites, perhaps that of the place where you go the jailbreak, for assistance.

I have upgraded my iPhone using IO6. Before doing this operation the advises to me is to back up the phone, which I did using iCloud.
When I tried to restore the back it does not access my password which I have given to restore my password.if you cant remember the password of your back-up encryption, you can't back it up
You will have to restore as a new phone -
I have upgraded my iPhone 5 with iOS7 and I can´t turn on location services. I have already restored the instalation of oOS 7 twice but no change. This should be the improvement of apple software? Does anybody have similar problem? Do you know how to solve it?
A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
We need a correct solution for this problem.
I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
And now from 5 to 5s.
The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook. -

i have upgrade my iphone 4 to ios 6 and from this moment every day my iphone go to block. it turn off and i can't turn on if i don't connect to charge connectors.. someone have the same problem? how can i solve it?
I am experience a similar problem, my iphone 4 either turns off by itself or I am unable to answer a call. Everything just blocks. After contacting 2 different apple service spots still no answer as to how can we fix the problem. Worse, I am unable to revert back to ios 5.1.1 where everything worked just fine.

when i connect my iphone 3Gs to itunes in my computer they say, they have an update for my iphone ios 5 to ios 6.1, this is the message that apear in my itunes, We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.Ask your question. what should i do for now for iphone didnt activate of itunes?
Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
with the black and white icon or a different one?
If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
Google may provide some direction. -
Im trying to restore my iphone 3gs to its factory setting at the same time updating to a newer version 6.1.2. while restoring, itunes states"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activition at this time." i cant open my phone, what does it mean
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
