HT201407 I upgraded my iphone3gs to OS 6.1 and then after it says that activation error try again later? how to resolve it?
how can i activate my phone again always sayaing the error thing???
There are four primary causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.
Regards.

This should help:
Find My Serial Numbers
If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product, start by logging in to your adobe account. (Go to Adobe .com and click “Sign In” in the upper-right menu bar. Enter the email you use as your Adobe ID and your password.) All of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section on the Manage Accounts page that appears.
For more information on locating or registering serial numbers, please see this link: Find a serial number.

I recently upgraded iTunes to 11.1.4.62 and then itunes would no longer recognize my iphone 4s and iPod although I can see the iphone but NOT the iPod on the computer (windows 8.1 Pro). I checked everything , cable, services, stop and start and automatice, etc.and went through all the steps on the apple support site, to include removing all apple software in the designated order and reinstalling it. iTunes still doesn't see the iphone.
The Apple iPhone shows up only under protable Devices in the Device Manager window and has a Yellow ! warning triangle, and there is no Apple USB controller in the devices menu.under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. When I look under the properties of the Apple iphone, it says in Device Status, to reinstall the drivers for this device (Code 18).
When I do this, I get the following: "Windows found driver softweare for you device but encountered an error when attempting to install it" Apple Mobile Device Driver One of the installers for th this device cannot perform the installation at this time. I tried both suggested locations on the C: drive.
Also I can't seem to find out how to install the Apple USB Contoller or is that related to the problem above?
The iphone and my ipod work fine with this version of itunes on Windows 7 on my laptop. is it possible that I am missing a critical update from Microsoft on the driver and USB controller? I have been leery of installing them since my computer had problems with some updates in January.
I 've tried every thing listed in this forum, I think, and the Apple support page on this subject. Please help!Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.
I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

How do I upgrade the iOs on my ipad1 to version5? I've tried through itunes many times, but I get a message that says that the download was interrupted and i should try again later. Can i download the iOS file to my PC and transfer it to the ipad? How should I do that?
Thank you!
Disabling firewall and AV did the trick!
Kudos.

It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.

When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error: "Could not purchase. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
I have an iPhone and an iPad. I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine. I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
I can download new apps just fine. I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
So, no solution...yet.
Just to clarify:
iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
Definitely account related.
I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
Will post if I hear anything back from Apple. -
Why am I receiving an "unknown error message" when I attempt to upgrade my X OS from 10.8 to Yosemite? It says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (4)." This happens only when I check for updates/upgrades for my software and then try to upgrade Yosemite in the App Store. Thanks for any help!
Hi.
I'm having the same problem. Could you tell me how you resolved it.
Thanks

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS via iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying that an error [-5000] occurred and continuing will delete all content on my iPhone. What's the solution?
okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...

I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?
Hi James,
I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information. You only have the option of listening. I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward. After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster. Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long. Thanks for your help. -
I can't upgrade my iPhone 4S to IOS 5.0.1. It says that it's not compatible. I was upgrading my previous iPhone and iPad2 without any problems. What's wrong?
Try putting it in Recovery Mode.

I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it. I have worked through all of the suggestions in HELP. The autofill prompt appears when I start to fill in a form but doesn't then provide the option box to select autofill from my contact card, the autofill prompt remains on the screen and can only be cleared by closing Safari and then reopening it. This never happened before and in fact autofill has been working perfectly up until now.
You can create another iCloud account easily enough, but you will only be able to create a new @icloud.com address to go with it, not @me.com - and you can't transfer your @me.com address from the other account.Creating a new account will have no effect on the existing one.
However you don't need to create a new iCloud account to create an additional ermail address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
While you can delete aliases, you cannot delete the address you created when you opened the account. -
What can you do when Ipad upgrade said "Ipad cannot be updated at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavilable. Please try again later.
Where can I download the ipad software myself?What entries do you have in your HOSTS file on your PC/Mac?
If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.
Look for any entries which redirect gs.apple.com and comment out or remove.
