HT201442 iphone 5 saying activation required why?
my iphone is saying it needs to be activated and it wont work
Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta? Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum. Enjoy your iBrick!

Updated iphone5c to ios 8.1.3 and now it says activation required. Why?
I updated the iphone 5 c to IOS 8.1.3 and now the phone keeps saying activation required. Why? We have 2 phones. The other one did not do this? How do I solve the problem?
I restored for same version
for earlier versions is not possible, because this is not signed by more apple -
My iPhone 4 keeps having the "Restore Needed" message pop up on my phone. I have restored my phone several times this week, and it still keeps happening. The "Restore Needed" message pops up, so I immediately do a hard shut-down. Once the phone restarts, the phone then says "Activation Required". I keep shutting down and restarting the phone, and sometimes it snaps out of it, seemingly on its own. Sometimes I have to go home and restore and activate my phone. How do I fix this? I'm 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store and 1 hour away from the closest AT&T store.
Thanks!
AutumnMake the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.
You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

HT4993 Why does my iphone say activation error
Why does my iphone say activation error
Because you are running an unauthorized version of the beat software for iOS 7. Or you are a legitimate developer and there is an issue with your last update. You will need to go to the developers section to fix it if that is the case.
If you are not a developer contact the developer who got the beta for you. -
Good morning friends, I have a problem with my iphone 4s since I get a screen that just light it says "Activation Required" restored it and not corrected, I bought my factory unlocked iphone, how I can fix this, I had installed the version 6.0 as developer to
If you have a beta copy of iOS6
1. You are a developer and will know how to transition from beta
to release version and to use the Develpoer forum
2. You have a pirate copy of the beta and no-one on this Apple hosted Forum can help you

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

my ipod touch says "activation required, Connect to itunes" i restored it with on my itunes and it seems to be working again, after i tried connecting to my wifi with no luck i reset it, and again it pops back "activation required, connect to itunes" i restored again, its a non ending cycle, and it makes no sense having my ipod and i cannot connect to the internet with it, can someone please help with this issue?
Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
My I phone will no longer turn on all the way or conect with my computer all the way to sinc.... keeps saying "activation required"? How do I activate?
The only time I have ever seen that is when my SIM card is out of my phone. Try opening the sim card tray and then replacing it after a minute. Use a paperclip to pop the door open on the side of the phone (if it is a 4 or 4s) or on top (if 3GS) and see if that changes the alert message. Check back with status if that doesn't help. You can also trying a full restore by plugging it into your computer and opening iTunes. When it recognizes the phone click on the phone name in the left menu and hit restore. This will erase the phone but if you have a backup you can restore from that after it resets the phone or you can set it up as a new phone and start from scratch. Good luck, let me know if this helps.

Were you, by chance, running a beta version of iOS 7 on your phone?
If so, this will be the problem. You will need to log Into the private developers forum at https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/
If you are not a developer, you will need to seek help by way of your favourite search engine.
