HT4623 help update iphone 3 gs

i did update iphone 3gs, but didn't concluse because there isn't back up, but I did back up. Somebody help me please!! [email protected]

We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.

  • HT4623 Help updating iPhone to iOS6

    I updated my own iPhone 3GS wirelessly OK, but when I did the same for my wife's iPhone 4, it said I have to connect to iTunes. Which would be OK except we are on holiday in Cyprus with no laptop. Anything I can do to get round  this till we return home? I'm in trouble as phone will not work otherwise...!

    Activation issues are typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • HT4623 After updating Iphone 4s to 6.0 the signal is very weak and the phone drops calls frequently.

    After updating Iphone 4s to 6.0 the signal is very weak and the phone drops calls frequently.

    Based on what?
    "When Apple rolled out iOS 6.1, its first major update to iOS 6, yesterday, it introduced a series of bug fixes, software tweaks for iTunes and Siri and also added LTE support - but none of that was any use to the disconnected and discontented sufferers of a particular iPhone software flaw: greyed-out Wi-Fi."

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Help updating IPhone software

    Hi - Im having trouble updating my iPhone software via iTunes. I clicked on the "update" tab but get an error msg: iTunes could not contact the iPhones software update server because you are not connected to the internet.
    My internet connection works fine; and I can download songs from the iTunes Store without any issues.
    Grateful for any help or suggestions.
    Thanks very much.

    I've ensured that iTunes is allowed to pass through the Windows firewall. I've also tried downloading the software with the fireall deactived completely. As said- I dont have any issues downloading mp3s via iTunes - just the iphone software.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • I need help updating iPhone 4 OS 5

    Ugh! I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the last 5 hours! The first time I tried to do it I lost all my contacts but I still have them somewhere on my computer.  Now I have a grey screen that says iPhone on it and when I unlock it, it goes to the set up screen asking if
    1. "set up as new iPhone" - which I DONT want to do
    2. "restore from iCloud back up" - which then prompts me to either choose set up as new iPhone or Restore from iTunes
    3. "restore from iTunes" -which I tried but it goes to the screen with the USB cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.When it's plugged in it makes no difference.  It says on my computer that it's working but no difference on the phone.
    How do I fix this without losing everything???? Help!

    after selecting restore from backup, you should see a screen asking you wich backup (on the computer)

  • HT4623 After updating iPhone 4, it is stuck in recovery mode?

    Hi nikhil bajpai,
    If your iPhone is stuck in recovery mode, you can restart your device.  Then try updating the iOS software again.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
    f you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support. 
    I hope this information helps ....

  • PLEASE HELP; Updating iPhone 4 without losing apps or data

    Hi,
    I want to update my iphone 4 but when I try it notifies me that  I will lose the apps that are currently on the phone. This is after I've synced my iphone with the iTunes on my mac in order to back it up.
    If I click to sync Apps through iTunes, it tells me it will delete what is on the phone to match what is saved on my computer (there are apps saved on the computer which I have since deleted off my phone..!) So how do I back up my phone apps and save them from being deleted when I update the operating system?
    I remember when macs were quite straight forward and simple to use, but now I am almost always confused when I try to do something!!
    Will be grateful for any advise, thanks!

    Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes should have been selected from the start and remain selected. This way after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. And you can download an app with iTunes on your computer, select the app under the Apps tab folllowed by a sync to install the app on your iPhone. To remove an app from your iPhone without deleting the app, deselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app on your iPhone again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. If you restore your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, all apps are in your iTunes library to be reinstalled on your iPhone.
    With your iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    After confirming all apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps followed by making sure all apps on your iPhone are selected below before sycning.

  • Help Updated Iphone 3gs to 4.3.3 now won't open apps or play purchased songs

    Hey i updated my boyfriends iphone 3gs on my P.C last night to 4.3.3.
    But now it won't open any 3rd party apps even through they've been brought from the apple store
    and everytime you select a song to play it shows one song but plays a completly differnt one.
    Anyone else had this kinda problem and now how to fix  it ??? would be much apreciated.
    Also none of the info or apps on the phone are backed up on the P.C if i restore the phone will i be able to retrive all the purshed apps and songs using his itunes account ?
    thanks

    You will be able to redownload the apps, but not the music.  If the music isn't backed up, it will be lost.  That said, it sounds like you should try a reset first.  Press and hold both the Home and Power buttons until the phone turns off (ignore the slider to turn off window).  If that doesn't work, a restore is the next step.

  • HT4623 after updating iphone 3gs to latest software phone will not activate

       m

    Since you didn't provide any details or what the error message is:
    I'll assume that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier and when you updated it locked back up to the original carrier.
