HT201210 How can I activate iPhone 3GS?

How can I activate iPhone 3GS? I cant activate iPhone 3GS in Maldives. I activated iPhone 4.So what can I do?

Ask your brother if the iPhone was jailbroken or hacked?
Do you remember if the app Cydia appeared on the iPhone?
Google may provide some assistance.

    Well, it's a hacked and the update locks it back to the original carrier. If officially unlocked, updates will not lock it back.
    Do you know only the carrier can officially unlock iPhone, not even Apple can do that let alone some website?
    Well cannot help hacked iPhone in this forum.

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

  • Vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

  • HT5569 i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.

  • How can i activate iphone 4s?

    how can i activate my iphone 4s after restoring without icloude ID coz my previous ID i cant get it back i lost the email linked to the ID and i lost the password for the cloude account and i cant get it back i tried all the options in the app store support.

    To address this at the Apple ID level, use Apple's iForgot service, or click here and contact Apple.
    To address this at the device level, you need to be its original owner, and either take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store or click here and pick a method.

  • Can't activate iphone 3gs after update

    After update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs wants activate. After update from ios 4 to ios 5 all was fine. Iphone was locked to some carrier. IMEI 011985003296760
    How I can know is my Iphone locked to at&t or another mobile operator? Sorry for my english.

    This happens to iPhone which is unofficially unlocked. Nobody here can tell you the carrier to which your iPhone was locked.
    Need to call AppleCare
    or
    Google its full model no. to get a hint.

  • I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

    I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

    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=>Carrier?

  • How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?, How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?

    I am using a iPhone 3GS at the moment...and I would like to change that phone with iPhone 4 White.. so.. where can I change and how ?...

    Not sure I understand the question... you want to swap your phone out?
    If that's the case, depending on who your provider is, and where you originally purchased the phone, you should probably begin your discussion there, and find out if you have an upgrade or exchange option.
    If you've purchased the iPhone 4, and just want to sync and start using THAT phone instead? And have all of your apps, and music moved over there? Well... we can do that!
    If you can clarify the question, I'll narrow down the answer!
    Thanks...

  • Can't activate iPhone 3gs

    I have an iphone 3gs, and i updated a latest version 6.01, and now when i updated that, i can't connect my iphone to iTunes, and activate it. what should i do

    Google may provide some direction. Terms of Use for this forum

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Be advised some jailbreaks
    prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding.
    Contact the jailbreak community. They support their software, don't
    they?

  • HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

    I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

    Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.
