  • Trying to activtae Iphone 4 but getting a message saying that already activated

    HI
    I'm trying to activtae Iphone 4 but getting a message saying that already activated on October 4th, I received the phone on October 20th. Any idea wht can be the issue ?

    Hello madvish,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone!  I recommend the following steps when encountering an activation error:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

  • I tried to restore my iphone 6, but it failed

    I tried to restore my iphone 6, but it failed, it is error 9

    Hey Leonard,
    If you are having an issue with being unable to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
    Should the issue still be present, use the steps for that error code in this article -
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    In particular the section titled Check your security software -
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • How do you download is07 I tried to do the update but my computer times out

    How do you download is07 I tried to do the update but my computer times out

    If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software on your computer until the download has completed.
    Before starting the actual update you should force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up, and preferably copy any important documents, photos, files etc off the iPad so that you have copies of them outside of the backup.

    I use an iPhone 3G but am failing to access WhatsApp as it keeps saying my ios is too old. Which ios download can I use?

    The only option you have is to buy a newer phone. The iPhone 3G can not run anything higher than 4.2.1. It was discontinued years ago.

  • HT4623 I tried updating my iphone 5c, but it didn't have enough space and it disabled my iphone. What do I do?

    I didn't realize that my iphone has already been updated to that ios 7 thing. I tried to update it so that I could redo all my music selection to make more space for my TV shows on it, but it failed and my iphone 5c was disabled with only a picture of my charger plug and an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. Now that the update was incomplete, my itunes on my computer failed to recognize the device and even when I have taken it out of my computer, the image still stays on my iphone. It won't go away no matter how many times I restart my phone. I need to get it back to normal and get this stupid picture off the screen. How can I fix it?

    Sounds like your iPhone is in recovery mode as the update failed. You will now need to restore the iPhone to factory settings with iTunes on a computer. If your iPhone is not being recognised by your computer read one of the articles below based on your computers OS:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Trying to backup iPhone 4 but getting two bad options?

    My friend's got an iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.3 on it. He apparently never hooked it up to iTunes before (or if he did, it may have been once).
    He wants to go out to get an iPhone 5 but we need to back it up first. However, when we plug in to my Mac and iTunes loads, it gives two options:
    -> setting it up as a new phone, or
    -> restoring from a previous back up.
    option two is clearly a no-go as he doesn't want to lose years of data, photos, texts, etc. 
    however, from what I have read here:
    http://www.fettesps.com/how-to-fix-itunes-set-up-your-iphone-error/
    it seems like option 1 will do what we need and only lose his music which he doesn't care.
    that all being said, it's a scary option as losing his info is also a non-started.
    Can anyone confirm that  "setting it up as a new phone" will in fact not erase things but only rename it and re-activate it?
    Thanks.

    It is not call "RESTORE" as new, it's called SetUp as new. That link about backing up is completely irrelevent. It has no option to back up. It's a phone that's been used to 2 years, works perfectly, but can not get to a typical backup screen and is stuck as listed above:
    However, when we plug in to my Mac and iTunes loads, it gives two options:
    -> setting it up as a new phone, or
    -> restoring from a previous back up.
    There are the only two options and no way to get it to any other way.

  • I tried to recover my account but I'm not receiving the code in my recovery email

    I forgot my password and I tried using the recovery option but I'm not getting the email for the recovery code. What shall I do?

    Hey mcrickster,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are attempting to reset the password for your Apple ID. It may be possible that you have a rescue email address setup, and the password reset email is being sent to that address:
    When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID.

  • My daughter locked her ipod. I tryed to re set it, but it failed. The screan is just black. What do i do now

    My daughter locked her ipod. I tried to reset it, but it failed. The Screen is black and will not turn on.

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

    Note on Recovery Mode.
    You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Once you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most Recent Backup...

  • I tried to download xcode 4, but it failed when got 313 mb. Why?

    Hi,
    I tried to download xcode 4, but it always failed when got about 300 mb. The downloading stopped and displaying a message "Mounting failed". My machine has more than 400 gb available space. Anybody knows why?
    Thanks in advance,
    Xiuwei

    sometimes when you download things off the internet
    the data becomes corrupt and you have to redownload it
    best way is to wait a bit for when your isp cleared their cache so you
    don't download the same corrupt file again from their cache
    but general xcode questions would have a higher successrate of correct answers if asked in the
    developer forum
