HT201412 iPhone suddenly got deactivated. Cant use the phone now

My iPhone 4s suddenly got deactivated over night. Cannot access phone now. Can it have something to do with me haveing ios6 beta?

Go to https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action#downloads and download the iOS 6 to your computer.
1. Make sure you have the most up-to-date version of iTunes
2. Launch iTunes
3. Connect your iDevice to your computer
4. Select your device in the list on the left side bar of iTunes
5. Select the “Summary” tab in iTunes
6. Hold the Alt-key (Mac)/Shift-key (Win) and click on “Restore”
7. Instead of just restoring, iTunes will show you a dialog box to ask you for the location of the IPSW file that you want to use for restoring your iDevice
8. Select the file you just downloaded and hit the “Choose” button. Beware, some browsers may save the file as a “.zip” file. If this happens, just rename the file, and change the extension to “.ipsw”. This will make the file selectable again in iTunes.
9. Wait for iTunes to restore your device, go drink a coffee, and prepare to enjoy your newly installed iDevice!

My Daughter had key in a password on my Iphone and forgot the number, now i can use my phone can you pls advice me how to unlock the password and use my phone again

Hi ...
If you can't remember the Passcode, if possible, restore the device from the computer it was last synced with by placing the device in recovery mode.
Instructions here > iOS: Unable to update or restore
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be presen

HT1766 hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i tryed to set it up but it doesnt work. when i plug it in with itunes it does all the back up and restore and when its finished i still cant use the phone as i still ask me to start the set up from the beginning

hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i connected to itunes to restore all my data from the previous phone. when all the back up is finished i still cant use the phone as it ask me to restart again.... dont know what to do i tryed to restore 3/4 times but again when the restore is completed i still can't use the phone????

Replacements via Apple tech support are usually refurbished units, not new stock, though none of us here can say with certainty what you will receive. But you will not be able to tell the difference between new stock and a refurbished unit, and refurbished units generally go through more extensive testing than do new units, so getting a refurb may well be better than getting new stock.

So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.

You got this error because you iPhone was previously hacked with an "unauthorized modification."
"Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred."

It's been already 03 days, I am asking help with apple care centre, UAE, Head qurter, UK, USA but they are just sending me a link to reset up which still doesn't work. I am really dissapointed that i have wasted my 700 US dollar. Is it true that i can't use anymore this iPhone if i can't unlock? or there is any one to help in Dubai, Since i am staying in Dubai. I had called Dubai authorised care cantre. They asked my apple serial & IMEI number, They said ' the serial number is based on USA support but i bought in retail shop in UAE, They are also helpless.

Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but it is using the phone number fine.

You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.
iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion: Link your phone number and Apple ...
The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

I was given an iphone4 and it wont let me set up. i asked the person that gave it to me for the apple id info and she says she doesnt have it. i setup an apple id so i could use it and i still cant use the phone.

It says its linked to an apple Id and to login with it but the person I got the phone from doesn't know it.

You have run into Activation Lock and you will not be able to activate that iPhone without clearing it. Why doesn't the person who gave you the phone know that information?

Hi there, I have a iphone 3gs and it wants to upgrade to the ios6 software, and you can't even use the phone now. My question is, how do i get out of the software update?

Hi there,
My partner owns an iphone 3gs, and was working fine yesterday, but now it doesnt want to work, as it is stuck on the new software update. How do i get passed this? I have tried plugging it into my computer as it was saying, connect to itunes. Did not seem to work.
Sincerly,
Faith

Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.

I entered my phone chip into my iPad. How do I use the phone now?

I have the iPad 2 with the phone chip. I put the phone chip in and I don't know how to use the phone

The iPad has no telephone capability.

HT201442 hi there , i forget my apple id and password which is i use for my new iphone 4s , and i dont know what to do now ,, even i cant use the phone , always ask for apple id and password to get this phone activated

my new iphone serial number is DX3LGJH3FML6

I am amazed by the number of people who claim that they've forgotten their Apple ID, password, security questions, and rescue email address. I'm wondering what percentage of these people have stolen property. Regardless, you can get your Apple ID here: Settings>Store>tap on your AppleID.
FYI: you posted in the wrong forum.

I bought an iphone 5 And i cant use?

I bought an iphone 5 from a guy on ebay and he told me the login but it says it is disabled and he cant use his email because it is blocked or something and now i cant use the phone what do i do?

Return it and get your money back. There's a good chance it's stolen.
