HT4623 after i finished updating my iphone to the latest iOS, i cannot activate it. What should I do?
i can't use my iPhone after i updated it. It says that "your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPhone to iTunes to activated it, or try again in a couple of minutes" and the iTunes says that "There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone." i've already done what it says but it still no use. what shouls I do?
This happens when a jalbroken/hacked phone is updated to iOS 6. Your phone is now bricked. You will never get it activated.
You need to buy a new phone.

Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

when i trying to update my iphone 5 to latest ios 7.04 always appeared error when the update almost done about 20 to 30 minutes
Hello micojen1920
If you are having an issue with updating your iPhone, try it through a different method like in iTunes or through software update on your iPhone in settings. If that does not work then follow the steps in the article below to force a restore on your iPhone. Make sure to back up first and you can always restore from that back up once your iPhone is up to date. The second article will assist you with the back up and restore process.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!
I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple. -
I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?
Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS. -

Please kindly help me out.... i just update my iphone to the latest os but i was unable to set my phone up now
Did you buy your phone unlocked from Apple or did you have the original carrier unlock it? Or did you have some third party unlock it for you? If the latter, and you are trying to set the phone up with a different carrier than the original, you're going to have problems as the update most likely reversed the unauthorized unlock.

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?
I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?
you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes. Either works well. If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching.
Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing -

I tried updating my iPhone with the latest update. It downloads the update to my computer fine, but when it tries to update the phone, I keep getting a fault code of 3014. I've tried it four times.
Try taking it to the nearest Apple Store. They should have computers there that they can use to get your iPhone out of recovery mode. Make an appointment first.
