HT201407 How can I activate my iPhone if both is not working in WIFI nor in iTunes? I always get the "Could not activate" message.

I restored my old model of iPhone to factory settings successfully by following the restoration details in Apple website but soon as I press the next icon during configuration for the phone activation, I always get the "Cannot activate phone" message. Have I done anything wrong with the restoration causing this error?

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.
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=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

    No sorry, other than physically looking for it.
    Call your carrier and report to the police.

  • I have two macs. I have two itunes libraries. How can I sync my iphone with both

    Itunes is driving me insane every single day now.
    I have two macs so I obviously have two itunes libraries. I have purchased things on both my desktop and my laptop UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT.
    How Can I add/sync media from both without having to erase EVERYTHING. So ridiculous.
    Thanks

    To share the iTunes content between your computers, just enable Home Sharing from iTunes > File > Home Sharing.
    You'll still have to sync the iPhone with just one iTunes library because of the copyright restrictions that iTunes must follow.

  • How can I purchase an iPhone app that is not available in the AppStore I'm registered in but is available in another country's AppStore?

    Hello, guys. My problem is that I want to purchase an iPhone app that is not available in my AppStore(s). I am registered in the Japanese and Russian AppStores, and the app I want is available only in the American AppStore. Do I have to change my AppStore for this? And how can I do it? Or do I have to create a new Apple ID for the American AppStore? I tried to do the latter, but it requires a billing address located in the US, which I don't have. What are my options?
    Thank you in advance.

    No worries. The forums can be a bit confusing to navigate at first.
    You might want to contact the developer of the app in which your interested and suggest they offer it in your country. There may be reasons they can't but if they can and they know there's interest, they just might.
    Best of luck.

  • HT204387 How can I transmit my iphone numbers into my car's hands free system?? I have paired the two but do not know how to transmit.

    Having just moved from a Blackberry to iPhone 5C I have been trying to move my contacts into my car's Hands Free. I have paired the device but became stuck when it advised me to transmit the contact list.
    How do I find instruction on how to transmit?
    WRJ5

    The movement of contacts from the phone to the vehicle is handled by the vehicle. There is no setting on the iPhone to move the contacts. Check the user guide for the hands free system in your vehicle. Mine does it automatically, but there is a setting in the car's system that is set by default to move them.
    EDIT: I'm sorry, you can also check the phone. Go to Settings>Bluetooth and find your vehicle. Tap on the small on the right side and that should bring up another settings page, mine does. There you can check "Sync Contacts". It should then sync when you connect the phone to the vehicle, unless the vehicle also has a setting.

  • How can i find my iphone if i have not the aplication Trove my iphone?

    today somebody has steel my iphone from my car. i have not the aplication Trove my iphone. it is a posibilitty to find it without the aplication? maybe with IMEI or anything else???

    The only way to find a lost iOS device is to use the Find my iPhone app or www.icloud.com.  For this to work, you have to enable this feature on the lost device prior to loss.  If you didn't do this, there is no way to find it.  Also, if the device is off, there's no way to find it.  Neither Apple nor your carrier will find it for you.
    Setup Find my iPhone:

  • How can I sync my iPod touch calendar with my iPod using wifi?  Everything else sync but but the calendar.

    For some reason my iPad2 calendar doesn't sync with my iPod touch.  iOS is up to date on both devices and everything else syncs.  I have read the manual about syncing, tried syncing via iTunes and have wifi on but neither work. I have cloud set for my backup in both.  My iPad calendar shows duplicate appointments, my iPod touch shows none unless I enter them into iPod.   Can anyone give me some help?  Thank you

  • I can't open Firefox at all, I always get the "Runtime Error!" message and never get a Firefox screen.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox a couple of times trying to fix this problem. Firefox worked in the past, but I haven't been able to reinstall it successfully since I had some repairs done that required a complete wipe of my disk and a complete reinstall of my operating system (Windows XP) and all software.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
