Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable." I have  iphone 3gs , What is the solution?

That's almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it.
You can not get help for a hacked or jailbroken phone here.

  • After downloading i-clouds I keep receiving a no service message and could not activate iphone. it says the iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. i have read several threads with the same but no solution

    after downloading i-clouds I keep receiving a no service message and phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.
    I have read several questions on this but dont see a solution.

    Activation requires a SIM, assuming the SIM is functional it should simply activate.
    The vast majority of activation issues are the result of devices that have been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • This iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised but i try again and it says already authorised

    I am trying to sync my iphone 4 to my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit ) so I can update my apps. when I connect my phone to the computer, a window pos up with the following . . . . . . . . .
    this iphone 'colin's iphone' could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this phone
    to authorise this computer for items purchased from the itunes store, choose store > authorise this computer OK.
    I click on Store, authorise... type in apple id... type in password... click on authorise
    It then says.... this computer is already authorised.... including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.
    I unplug my phone and plug it in again and it does exactly the same again???
    I'm just going around in circles???

    I found the solution to this problem
    the apple service helped me actually
    the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem  :
    create a new account (as an administator recomended) 
    Bonjour  servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive  tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large  icons if you dont see administartive tools )
    install itunes
    sign in
    authorize
    SYNC
    it must sync normally
    but  if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not  be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items )  REMOVE THEM
    creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
    after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
    was  having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not  deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other  mobile divce folder
    REMEMBER  the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
    Thanks to Apple service
    for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
    will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

  • The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items 2014

    the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items

    Hello 7283,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing your iPhone.  It sounds like you computer is not authorized for some of the purchases on your iPhone. 
    I am not sure if you have authorized your computer, but I recommend trying that first.  If you have purchases from multiple Apple IDs on your iPhone, you will need to authorize all the Apple IDs used to make purchases.  Use these steps:
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If you have already authorized your computer, I recommend reviewing the following article for additional assistance:

    Message was edited by: liskan

    The error message you are getting sounds like you have jailbroken your iPhone or have updated to iPhone OS 4.0 Beta.
    Eitherway, I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 for a possible solution as these steps may not work.

  • I am getting an error message that my Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

    I am getting an error message when trying to sync to my PC that says "The Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"  what setting is messed up?

    The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

  • What does 'Appliance Error (configuration error) Your request could not be processed because of a configuration error: account is disabled' mean?

    All of a sudden Safari on my MacBook Air won't let me do anything. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
    As soon as I open Safari, a message comes up straight away saying 'Appliance Error (configuration error) Your request could not be processed because of a configuration error: account is disabled'.
    I also can't check for system updates because of a 'network error' and can't connect to the App Store.
    My internet is working fine and safari is working fine on both my iPhone and iPad.
    I've never seen this message before and I'm not having much luck in searching for an answer.
    This may be a silly question, I don't know, but does anyone have a solution?

    Back up all data.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.

    (if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.

  • ERROR: "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.?"

    I have iTunes 10.5 (whatever the most updated is) with the new iPhone 4S. Its new, i never dropped it, and i'm 99.99999% confident there's nothing wrong with it.
    With that in mind, these last few days this strange error, "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"... It used to sync properly but now it just doesn't sync at all.
    I have Windows Vista also. This is not normal and i've never seen this before.
    What can I do to fix this error?

    The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

  • Sync problems with iOS5. "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

    Hi,
    I have updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS5 and iTunes to version 10.5.
    All music, videos and ringtones purchased were deleted on the device and now it is impossible at all to sync the iPhone with the computer, both by USB and Wi Fi.
    It always appears at step 5 of the syncronization the message:
        "The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
    Has anyone experienced the same problem and has found the solution or we have to wait a bug fix from Apple?
    Thanks.

    Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
    1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
    Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
    In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
    2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
    P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

  • HT1386 itunes comes up with message "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" no matter what i do it wont sync it

    when ever i try to sync my phone itunes comes up with this message. this iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. how do i fix this?

    iTunes
    The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
    Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
    Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
    Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
    After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.
