HT201210 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage cant use

my iphone 4 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage,facetime and icloud cant use

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
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, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT201210 After installing ios 6, my ipod died. please help.

    After installing ios 6, my ipod died. now I get this msg when trying to restore on itunes. ....please help!!
    "the ipod could not be restored. this device isn't eligable for the requested rebuild" it is an ipod touch 4th gen previosly working on ios5.1

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore

    after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.

    After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

    Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

    So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
    After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

  • After installing IOS 6.1, how do I get items in "Music" to stop moving?

    After installing IOS 6.1, how do I get items in "Music" to stop moving?

    I was having this same issue.  I went into Settings -> iCloud and turned the Notes sync ON (which when I tried to do previously, i was prompted to create an iCloud email address which I already had).  Once I turned that on, I went to Settings ->Notes and I now see a "Default Account" selection which is set to iCloud.  Now all of my new notes save on the phone and on the cloud.  This doesn't fix the fact that I appear to have forever LOST all the notes I had before iOS6.1.  Apple, we're still waiting for a response???

    I would really like to know how you managed to do that seeing as how the MBP is not capable of running iOS

    The MBP uses OS X instead

  • IBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7, iBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7

    After installing iOS 7, iBooks doesn't work well.
    I have to log into my iTunes account before I can read the book that I've already downloaded and started reading.
    I also have problems logging in to iTunes and often have to do a complete shutdown and restart before I can log in.
    It's very frustrating and if I don't have connectivity, I can't read any books!
    How do I get this fixed?

    Hi Dee12124,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
    To do this:
    1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
    3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
    If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
    Before you restore your device
    Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
    Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
    Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
    Restore your iOS device
    Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
    Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
    After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.

  • After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
    All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x.  Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So  I can't send texts or make phone calls.
    This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
    My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
    Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
    Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
    So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
    Thanks Apple!

  • HT4623 I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?

    I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
    - Resetting the device several times
    - Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
    - Disabling Restrictions altogether.
    - Restoring from backup
    I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
    Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.
