    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

    If using a phone locked to a carrier, you must have the original SIM or one from that carrier to activate your iPhone.

  • I don't have the previous owner apple account how can I activate my iPhone without the previous owner?

    What can I do to active my new iPhone 5s if I don't have the previous owner apple ID because I don't know him.

    So the trick here is at what point are you getting stuck? You'll know whether or not you can use the device after you've restored it in iTunes. If the previous owner had not removed their iCloud account (or turned off Find My iPhone) before you do this, then the phone is forced into Activation Lock (which you'll likely see after restoring the device, upon setting it up). If this is the case, you either HAVE to contact the previous owner and have them help you type in their password or remove the phone from their iCloud account by logging into iCloud.com, or if you can provide valid proof of purchase you may be able to get support through AppleCare or an Apple Store. Otherwise, see if you can return it! Good luck!

  • Can I activate my iPhone without the original sim?

    I bought an iPhone 4 form the USA, which was not activated. When I plug it into iTunes, I have a message along the lines of 'Not Original Sim, please insert original...'
    Well, I was never given and therefore don't have the original sim.
    However, I think that the iPhone was on the AT&T network, but I am not 100% sure.
    I have also recently updated, probably to iOS 6, but I am again not totally sure.
    Will any AT&T sim card work to activate the phone?
    And, is there any other way to activate the iPhone, other that having the original sim?

    You need to contact AT&T about this and get a micro sim card from them for your phone. 
    You would have updated to iOS6 as that is the latest upgrade - no others are available.
    Contact AT&T or go into one of their stores to find out.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    GB

  • Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • How can I activate my iphone4 without the owners ID it was just given to me by a friend and we can't contact the owner of this....

    how can I activate my iphone4 without the owner's ID it was just given to me by a friend AND WE CAN'T CONTACT THE OWNER ANYMORE

    There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

  • I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

    I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

    I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?

    can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?

    Why would your sim card be burning?. If anything is burning it is safe just not to use the device at all and take it into an Apple Store to be evaluated.

    Yes, they will hand you the box after you pay for it and offer to set it up for you. If you are buying it in another country make sure that they sell you an UNLOCKED iPhone and keep in mind the warranty is not international, if you need service you will have to return to the country where you bought it.
