HT4623 I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says ' Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS. Help any
I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

i tried to download the ios7 and when my phone rebooted it now says could not activate phone because the activation server cannot be reached, so now I can't get into anything on my phone
The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

Hi Friends...
I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
The answer that you gave was....
This is the only one
Now you are saying that....
But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
Can you clarify, please? -

after downloading updates for the first time, i was asked to restart my mac. it started writing configuring installation. the staus bar just showed a little and remained like that for more than 3 hrs. i tried several times wit no success. it has not updated my mac OS X 10.5.

Hi everyone
I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?It could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.
