HT201407 I obviously can't get into my iPhone if its not activated so how am I supposed to restore it?

I can't even get into my iPhone so the only thing I can do right now is connect it to wifi and try to get it to activate. It won't activate, even when it is connected to iTunes.

Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

    How can I get into my iPhone without activating it through itunes id

    If the iPhone has Find My iPhone activation lock enabled then you will not be able to activate the iPhone without entering the correct Apple ID and password it is locked to. Sorry but there is no way to bypass this.

  • Can't get into my sub-folders on my webmail! how can I revert back to OLD FIREFOX?

    just upgraded - wish I hadn't, my webmail won't function
    can somebody get back to me on this - I'm self employed and this could seriously affect my business - am going to change back to Safari if I don't get a response

    Check icloud.com to see if they appear there.  If so, try going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Sync (in the calendars section) and set this to All Events.

  • Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

    I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

    UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
    These were the steps:
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
    Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
    Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
    Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
    -- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
    Then:
    Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
    -- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
    All done!
    Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

  • How can I get my music back if its not backed up?

    Hi,
    I had hard drive failure and replaced them both and upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, therefore I have lost everything and I hadn't backed up my any music.
    I download and install the latest iTunes 64 bit. I log in and can't find my music?
    I plug my iPod in and it says it's synced to another library.
    How do I get my music back?
    Thanks very much for reading.

    How come it's not the same with music purchasing?
    Because Apple pays the music copyright holders a royalty each time a song, including a free single, is downloaded from the iTunes Store. You can sometimes get one free redownload request granted by using _*this form*_, but never more than one.
    good luck !

  • IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

    Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

    If you see this picture, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to recover your iPad.

    can you please help me? iv forgotten my pass code lock and my phone is now disabled, i dont know what it is, iv tried loads of my old ones but i cant get it.... confused

    Continue reading the support document that you linked to the forum with. It gives you the instructions. To remove the passcode you have to restore the phone as new, then you can restore from your backup.

  • IOS 7 changed my passcode and I can't get into my iPhone. How do I fix this

    I just upgraded and now I keep getting "iPhone is disabled." The passcode I used an hour ago on 6.1.3 worked fine.

    Hi edhones,
    Please update Acrobat to v11.0.09 and check.
    You might want to repair Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check if it installs the pdf printer back or not.

    You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I can't get into safari!! When ever I try to go into safari, it's a blank screen

    I can't get into safari!! When ever I try to go into safari, it's a blank screen and then it goes back into the homepage

    Sorry you did not get an answer to this,but I do note you are apparently now using firefox 10.0.2.
    One reason for the rapid release cycle that Firefox has now adopted is to keep firefox secure and up to date. You may even find Firefox itself offers some of the facilities that the troublesome AVG offers. And MS offer free AV with MS security essentials.
    AVG often seems to cause problems with firefox.

  • Help, I am about to pull my hair out, can't get into a locked drive and Time Machine problem

    I've screwed everything up, I think.  I had Time Machine doing backups to an external 500Gig drive and somehow it got locked.  I went into Get Info to try and change the access but it won't allow me.  On top of this problem, my original drive died and I can't get into Time Machine to restore.  When I click "Enter Time Machine", nothing happens.  I created an eDisk and a startup disk to another external drive that I'm using now, but since everything that's been backed up is on the other drive that I can't access.  When I try accessing the drive it gives:  "The folder “G-DRIVE ” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."  I'm not knowledgeable enough to work from the command line, so if I need to do that to access the drive, please walk me though it.  As for the Time Machine problem, I have no idea how to recover anything since it won't even come up, it just sits there.  Outside of blowing my brains out, I don't know what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't afford to take it to Apple to let them try and fix it.

    Hello, not sure how this might affect a TM drive, or not, but...
    Here is what i needed to do for my drive "320GB HD", the last command is just for clean up
    Open Terminal and type these commands carefully with the spaces & change 320GB HD to the name of your drive.
    sudo chflags 0 "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chown root "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chmod 1775 "/volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo -k
    That said, these should be sufficient to do the job:
    sudo chflags 0 "/Volumes/320GB HD"
    sudo chmod a+rx "/Volumes/320GB HD"
