    Hi few days ago I bought a second hand iphone 5 white 64 gb, and when I try to activate it I see the following message: "This iPhone can not be activated for service.please contact your carrier or AppleCare"

    So then do what it says...contact Apple or your wireless carrier.
    However your phone is probably locked to another carrier and cannot be used on yours.

  • Why does my phone say can not connect to itunes store

    how come when i try to get an app or anything else for that matter my phone says that it can not connect to the itunes store.

    Go to settings and ensure a wi-fi connection. If you are connected go to settings>general>date&time>turn automatic time off and ajust the time to one year ahead. Go back to the app store and check connection. If it works, GREAT go back to settings, general and turn auto time back on in date&time.:)

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • TS2755 can not sign in for imessage on IOS7

    I can't activate my IMessage for the new IOS 7 software. Any ideas?

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • Can not create activity for a workspace in the DTR

    Hi there,
    I am trying to get familiar with the DTR which comes with the WAS 6.40 SP9.
    I figured out how to create a workspace. Now I try to create a project at this workspace. Therefore an activity is necessary. The NW Developer Studio (perspective DTR with admin-plugin activated) tells me that an activity was created but there is none.
    Thus, i tried to create an activity with the DTR Shell. At first the shell tolds me that an activity was created but a second later it showed me the following error:
    Could not create the requsted activity.Set client properties on activity failed: Internal Server Error.
    I tried to find some logfiles and at the SAP Management Console at the database i found an error which occurs when i try to create an activity:
    ERR 51080 SYSERROR -9041 BD Index not accessible
    Have anybody an idea how to solve this problem?

    I guess you are using MaxDB as the database.
    The error message indicates that some database indexes could have got corrupted in your database.
    To check this, you the MaxDB Database Manager.  Go to
    Instance->Tuning->Index Use.  Provide the table owner (SAP<SID>DB) and click on 'Search' on the tool bar.  It lists you all the indexes for the owner.  The last column shows if there are any bad indexes.
    If indeed there are bad indexes, then you can recreate them via Instance->Recovery->Index.  Provide the table owner, table and index name and click on 'Recovery'.

    - What happens when you try? Error message?
    - Is the email addrese listed on her iPod in Settings>Messages>Send and receive?
    - Is the same email address listed on your device in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive? If so it will not work.

  • HT204053 In Messages, my phone number is in gray. Why cannot I be reached in iMessage using my phone number?

    Why is my phone number is gray... indicating that iMessage will not work on my phone? It has always worked. I changed my Apple ID password and now I do not have iMessage on my phone. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Mine has been acting up all day like this.  Was perfectly fine last night.  Grey bubble for texts sent to me, and blue bubbles when I send text to iPhone users.  This morning, without doing anything different to my phone other then texting, it was green bubbles when I send to iPhone users.  And no replies ALL DAY.  I texted Android users I know, and they received my texts, and I received theirs.  Just when I got home, I finally received a text from my brother.  But when I replied back, it was still a green bubble.  But he tells me, it's blue for him when he sends to other iPhone users.  Yes, iMessage is turned on.  Short of resetting my phone to factory, I've done all the troubleshooting involved with fixing iMessage issues.  All of it.  No luck. 

  • HT4623 Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage?

    Hi Mark, I have 2 iphone but about Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage? I try on/off my iphone but i didn't sucessfull

    Turn imsg off/on.
    If that doesn't work, I would than backup your data (considering the troubleshooting steps already listed) and "Erase all content and settings" on the device and setup as a new iphone and test imsg out in factory default. Try to activate your phone in factory default. If it shows your number / activates, there may be something in your current settings preventing imsg from operating / activating. If it does not activate, get in touch with carrier.

  • I've been recieving text messages on my Iphone 4s, but the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message logs.  Anyone know why??

    I've been receiving text messages on my phone, but for some reason the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message log.  Does anyone know why?

        donnagman,
    Thanks for the details. All numbers should show up in the message history log, unless you are communicating via iMessage. When texting the numbers that are missing in the message log are you using your normal messaging app on the device or a downloaded app? Have the numbers that are missing been shown in your message log before?

    AdaS_VZW,
    I'm not sure if the area has been surveyed; it's a large group of apartment buildings about a within a couple miles of Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, so I would imagine that it probably has, but I'm not sure. How would I find out?
    I understand that the Network Extender does not support LTE connections (I know there are two models, the 1x-only and 3g, both made by Samsung - I have the 3g model, SCS-2U01). I know that it can support a 3G data connection, but that should be irrelevant - I'm always connected to my wifi network in my apartment.
    What's particularly vexing, however, is that both a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus in my apartment (the other lines on my account) do not seem to have this issue. While I haven't done so with the S4, the Nexus exhibits this problem when my SIM is in it - and again, this is a fresh SIM from just a few weeks ago.
    I'm currently trying to disable Mobile Data when in the apartment to see if that will make it more stable. I'll post in a day or two with results from that.

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

  • My phone number is not coming up as an option for sending and receiving imessages

    My phone number is not coming up as an option for sending and receiving imessages

    You do not have a "phone number".    Your ipad has a cellular access number and can't make phone calls. 
    You must use your apple ID email for imessage and FaceTime on iPad.
