HT201210 When i try to connect my iphone to itune in order to activate it, an error message appears. why is this?
My iPhone was stuck in a boot loop so I got it repaired and back to factory settings. However, when I try to activate my phone it comes up with an error message saying it cannot perform my activation at the moment and to try again later or to contact customer care. Could you please help me as to what to do. Thank you.
Where exactly did you get the phone? That's usually an indication that it was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it instead of having it unlocked through official means.

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

Dear Friends:
When I try to update my iPhone 3Gs thru iTunes, to the latest OS I receive an error message that says: "The net conection has been without any response within the limit of time.Please see your net settings or try later". I checked my internet settings and all is OK (I have not any proxy connection). I tried lots of time to do this update since some weeks till now and I always have the same error message. Please give me an answer about this problem because I cannot do anything more.
Best Regards
Joao Aguiar.Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

I have just finished restoring my iPhone 4 and upon trying to connect to iTunes to set the phone up I receive the following pop up message:
"The iPhone could not be activated because of an unknown error (0xE8000004). Please try again later"
I have tried switching the USB ports and even tried on another computer so I'm not sure what to do next.Hey eventsjordan1,

I was trying to update my music last night. But itunes told me it needed to be updates first. So I updated itunes, and my phone. But now when I connect my phone using the usb. It will not connect to itunes, all that comes up is a phone icon on my desk top(which doesn't allow me to do anything with) But when I connect an ipod it does connect to itune and I am abble to look at how much room is left, and the option to restore ect) . SO this tells me something is wrong with my phone it self. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

When I try open a batch of files in camera raw using Bridge CS6, an error message appears.
The only work around appears to be to then choose to open these files in PhotoShop CS6. This wil then display the adjustment screen in the normal way.
Presumably this is a bug. Any other suggestions.I get the same thing in Mac OSX 10.7.3. When I control-click on a preview and select 'open in camera raw' I get a dialog that says it's not enabled and requires a qualifying app to have been launched first:
I've launched bridge and photoshop and if I open an app from the mini-bridge within photoshop, camera raw is launched. -

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHeroIf you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else ) -
Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?
It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -
