  • HT201263 Can anyone help? I cannot activate my  iphone after an ios7 update.

    Can anyone help? I cannot activate my iphone4 after an ios7 update. I have carried out a  recovery-mode restore but when the phone is switched back on I enter the UserID and Password that are verified via itunes and icloud but no joy. It tells me the used ID and password are not correct.  This is is second hand phone that I have hand for a year. Apple says that I have to contact the previous owner to get their User Name and Password. This is impossible.They might have even passed away. I can believe Apple would do such a crazy software release.  There must be thousands of people in my shoes. 

    This is the new Activation Lock feature that users have been wanting for years to prevent stolen phones from being restored and used by the thief.
    If you cannot get the password to the previous user's AppleID then the phone will be useless to you.

  • HT4972 I cannot activate my iphone after upadating it.

    Aftler updating my iphone into the latest software, it seems that it was reset and i have to set it up again. When im all done and the last thing to do is to activate it, that's where the problem came in. It always says that please consult in here, apple support.

    Before someone objects to my statement; I correct myself
    Users with carrier locked iPhones which were hacked to be used with another carrier usually encounter this problem after the update.

  • Cannot activate my iphone after updating

    after updating ios5.01, my Iphone 3GS needs to be activated. While i was activating it, it keeps come back saying" your iphone can not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavaliable"  I've been trying all night, and the problem still persists, what's wrong with it?

    Sounds to me like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated it.

    cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??
