i have reset factory setting so how do i activate my phone now?
For a 3G? Plug it into your computer running iTunes and activate it...
Is there some kind of problem?

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?
If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
{Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
the time frame of proper opportunity.
I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
The wording of your question leaves a lot
of important information out of the picture.
Good luck!

tried to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to a higher iOS but unfortunately it had reset factory setting... now i can't use my phone anymore... tried also to connect to iTunes as instructed but only appears: WE ARE SORRY, WE CANNOT CONTINUE YOUR ACTIVATION AT THIS TIME... WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU...
No, you do not need to nor should you jailbreak your iPhone.
If you jailbreak your iPhone, you void any remaining warranty and lose
all support from Apple including this forum.
4 possible causes to activation server unavailable message:
1] activation server is actually unavailable. Happens very rarely and
does not last long on those rare occasions. Solution is to try again.
2] your firewall/internet security software/antivirus are preventing connection
to the activation server. Solution is to temporarily turn off your firewall/internet
security software/antivirun until you have activated your iPhone.
3] your iPhone has been jailbroken or otherwise hacked/modified.
4] the computer you are using to activate the iPhone has been used to
jailbreak an iOS device.
For causes 3] & 4] you are on your own as Terms of Use for this forum prohibit
discussion of jailbroken/modified iOS devices. Google may provide some direction.
Be advised that jailbreaking/hacking your iPhone may prevent the iPhone from
being able to be activated. -

I want to reset my iphone 4 back to factory setting. How do i backup my info
My iphone is so messed up since i updated the ios7. i want and backup my info of my phone then reset to factory setting. how do i do that?
The other option is to plug your device via usb into your computer. (make sure Itunes is already installed). Itunes will recognize your device, and give you the option to do any updates that may be available, and back up to that computer.

HT1766 i have reset compny setting but my phone will not start
i have reset compny setting but my phone will not start
Have no idea what you mean by "reset compny setting." There is no such function in iPhones. Do you mean "Erase All Data and Settings", Restore in iTunes as new (no backup), or something else? How did you do anything with the phone if it "will not start"??

have given my ipod touch4 to my grandson, but although I have reset factory settings, I cannot delete all my details eg visa details. I have tried but it has upset my iphone and I lost my apple account on my iphone!! HELP.... please.
Create an account for him. and use that.
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

HT1631 I have reset to default keychain, how do I go back to the original keychain?
I have reset to default keychain, how do I go back to the original keychain?
Don't think so, but look in your user Library>Keychains.
Hit Cmd-Shift-G and enter ~/Library
Looks like it is possible. See

I restored my computer to factory setting, and then restored all my files. Now some of my songs are not authorized on this computer in iTunes.

i got apple iphone 3 and i getting problem to activate that its showing message could not activate plz help me how can i activate my phone?
Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using. It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

How do I activate the phone in Thailand
I am in Thailand and want to use the phone with Thai GSM Sim. I did work out with Verizon support and she gave me an unlock code. As the instruction, just replace GSM sim and reboot the phone. It will prompt to enter the code. But it does not prompt me anything. Then I try to reset the phone, hopefully it will prompt the code. Now, I have to activate the phone. I have 2 questions:
1 How do I activate the phone outside US?
2. How to make the phone prompt me to enter the unlock code?Kwanchai,
Greetings from that states! And we want to get you up and running in Thailand ASAP. Now, we appreciate you having verified with our team what needs to be done prior as well as doing what you've done thus far regarding activation. That being said, I'd recommend contacting our Global Support Team at 908-559-4899 for additional assistance.

Hello AryanRajesh,
It sounds like you do not have your Apple ID/iCloud password to activate your iPhone. I recommend resetting your Apple ID password using the steps in the following article:

I broke my old phone recently and bought a new one but I dont know how to activate it? I just bought it at wal mart but I already have a contract so I dont want to get a pre paid plan but whenever I try and activate it it says it can't find my number. What's goin on here? How do i activate this phone?
If you are trying to activate a pre-paid phone on a contract plan number, it likely won't work - you need to have thepre-paid be active on a pre-paid account for 6 months before you can switch.
You'll need to call customer service and give them the ESN and see if they can possibly activate it for you on your account, or find another phone to activate - an older one that a friend has that has been on a regular contract account, ebay, etc.... -
